Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is an extension of circular dichroism spectroscopy into the infrared and near-infrared regions where vibrational transitions occur in the ground ...

Chiral molecules can present different chemical properties. For applications like drug delivery and diagnosis, it is important to detect chiral signals in mixtures. Although electronic circular ...

Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is a chiroptical variant of infrared absorbance that measures the differential absorption of left- and right-circularly polarised light by chiral ...

Most biomolecules are chiral. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is typically used to provide information about that chirality. But the data for mixtures of biomolecules can be difficult to ...

The 3D conformation of a molecule or nanostructure determines its function. For instance, a left-handed amino acid can be beneficial to health, while its right-handed compartment can be toxic. With ...

Metamaterials are a novel class of man-made materials with engineered qualities that surpass those found in nature. Unlike most substances, whose behavior is determined by chemical makeup, ...

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) exploits the differential absorption of left- and right-circularly polarised radiation by a magnetised medium. In its X-ray variant (XMCD), element-specific magnetic ...
