Photomagnetic-chiral anisotropy of chiral nanostructured gold films
Chem(2021)
摘要
Summary The photomagnetic effect is known to be related only to transition metal atoms with empty orbitals and spin-state changes. In general, noble metals with high electron density cannot be used as photomagnetic materials because of the absence of spin polarization. However, here, we found that photomagnetic-chiral anisotropy (PM-ChA) was generated in chiral nanostructured Au films (CNAFs), and opposite photomagnetic fields (PMFs) were created in the antipodal CNAFs under unpolarized irradiation. The PM-ChA was speculated to arise from directional alignment of opposite spins polarized by the asymmetric spin-orbit coupling due to the opposite effective magnetic fields induced by electron motion in the antipodal helical structure. PM-ChA can be applied in enantiomeric quantification, probably because of the spin polarization coupling between CNAFs and enantiomers. PM-ChA of noble metals generated by directional spin control in helical nanostructures could provide new strategies in quantum technology and theories in magnetophysics.
