Chirality Transfer and Induction Across Multiscales Using Chiral Plasmonic Structures and Macroscopic Deformation

ConspectusChiral materials are anticipated to play a significant role in next-generation technologies such as displays, information storage, optical/quantum communications, and polarization imaging due to their ability to selectively absorb and emit circularly polarized light (CPL) through chirality-dependent light-matter interactions.Highly efficient conversion of the unique optical signals generated by chiroptical responses into electrical signals─and vice versa─is crucial for advanced chiroptical applications. However, molecularly chiral materials often suffer from low chiroptical activities and low-efficiency conversion. To address this limitation, researchers have been actively developing not only novel chiral molecules but also chiral plasmonic structures (CPSs) that can effectively interact with CPL. Furthermore, efforts are underway to boost chiroptical performance of hybrid syst…
