Surface-enhanced circular dichroism by multipolar radiative coupling
Abstract:
We present numerical investigation of the mechanism of surface-enhanced circular dichroism of a chiral medium near nanoantennas. Strong circular dichroism was observed from the chiral medium surrounding nanoantennas with multipolar resonant modes, and the strong circular dichroism was more correlated to the multipolar resonances than to nearfield enhancement or optical helicity enhancement. According to this observation, we suggest multipolar radiative coupling between the nanoantennas and chiral medium as a possible mechanism of the strong chiral response. This work clarifies a mechanism of surface-enhanced chiral responses and would be useful for designing an enantiomeric-sensing platform and realizing devices relying on strong chirality, such as topological metamaterials for scattering-immune propagation of light and negative index metamaterials.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
