Meanings
- (countable, uncountable) The property of some crystals of transmitting different colors of light in different directions.
-
(countable, uncountable) The property of some anisotropic materials of having different absorption coefficients for light polarized in different directions; circular dichroism.
In the close vicinity of a chiral nanostructure, the circular dichroism of a biomolecule could be greatly enhanced, due to the interaction with the local superchiral fields.
