Over the last two decades a series of large ring laser gyroscopes have been built having an
unparalleled scale factor. These upscaled devices have improved the sensitivity and stability …

Using classical and quantum methods with a strong emphasis on symmetry principles, this
book, a reissue of the 2004 second edition, develops the theory of a variety of optical activity …

The Soai reaction and the Viedma deracemization of racemic conglomerate crystal mixtures
are experimental pieces of evidence of the ability of enantioselective autocatalytic coupled …

As materials science is moving towards the synthesis, the study and the processing of new
materials exhibiting well-defined and complex functions, the synthesis of new multifunctional …

Magneto-chiral dichroism is a non-reciprocal—that is, directional—effect observed in
magnetized chiral systems, featuring an unbalanced absorption of unpolarized light …

The interplay between chirality and magnetic fields gives rise to a cross effect referred to as
magneto‐chiral anisotropy (MChA), which can manifest itself in different physical properties …

The magnetochiral effect (MCE) of phonons, a nonreciprocal acoustic propagation arising
due to symmetry principles, is demonstrated in the chiral-lattice ferrimagnet Cu 2 OSeO 3 …

We report the first observation of a new optical phenomenon, magnetoelectric directional
anisotropy (MEA). MEA is a polarization-independent anisotropy which occurs in crossed …

Recent studies demonstrated the violation of reciprocity in optical processes in low-
symmetry magnetic crystals. In these crystals the speed of light can be different for …

The possibility of a magnetic field controlling the chirality of matter has been debated for a
long time. Here, we report the successful induction of chirality in the noncentrosymmetric …
