Abstract:Sensitivity to molecular chirality is crucial for many
fields,
from biology and chemistry to the pharmaceutical industry. By generating
superchiral light, nanophotonics has brought innovative solutions
to reduce the detection volume and increase sensitivity at the cost
of a nonselectivity of light chirality or a strong contribution to
the background. Here, we theoretically propose a simple achiral plasmonic
resonator based on a rectangular nanoslit in a thin metallic layer
behaving as a magnetic dipole to gene… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
