Controlling chirality in atomically thin quantum electronic materials
Chirality is a foundational and unifying topic in science. It relates properties of elementary particles, to those of molecules in chemistry and biology (e.g. sugars), as well as the electromagnetic responses of artificial systems with non-superimposable mirror images. Besides, chirality bears an extraordinary potential for modern engineering, despite of the current lack of large, robust and actively controlled chiral signals needed to develop new applications. The emergence of atomically thin quantum electronic materials with handedness has marked the ultimate twist in chirality. A wide variety of exotic and gigantic chiral phenomena are predicted to occur in these novel quantum systems.…
