  • To simplify spectral interpretation using time-resolved chiroptical signals.
  • To demonstrate the ergodic principle in chiroptical spectroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Time-resolved circular differential scattering spectroscopy.
  • Observation of freely diffusing single chiral nanoparticles in solution.

Main Results:

  • Spectral interpretation is significantly simplified for freely diffusing particles.
  • Experimental demonstration of equivalence between time-averaged and ensemble chiral spectra.
  • Distinguishing instantaneous responses of achiral particles from true chirality.

Conclusions:

  • Time-resolved chiroptical spectroscopy on freely moving nanoparticles advances single-particle analysis.
  • This method provides a true signature of nanoparticle chirality.
  • The ergodic principle is demonstrated for chiroptical spectroscopy.
