Breakthrough confirming chiral Faraday effect thanks to nickel helices
Published: May 21, 2021
Physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, have for the first time been able to prove the long-predicted but as yet unconfirmed fundamental effect of Faraday chiral anisotropy, that propagation characteristics of light waves are changed simultaneously by the natural and magnetic-field induced material properties of the medium through which the light travels, with experiments using nickel helices at the nanometer scale.
