Chiral photoelectron spectroscopy using unpolarized light
Yoshi-Ichi Suzuki
Abstract:This Letter studies the symmetry properties of general vector correlations resulting from one-photon excitation of chiral molecules. We show that the parity-odd second rank tensor is nonzero for molecules in all chiral point groups Cn, Dn, T, O, and I. This chirality-sensitive tensor is nonzero even for chiral isotopomers excited by linearly polarized or even unpolarized light. We develop an irreducible tensor theory based on Curie's limiting groups. As an example of vector correlations, recoil-frame photoelec… Show more
