Chiral semiconductor nanostructures and nanoparticles are promising materials for applications in biological sensing, enantioselective separation, photonics, and spin-polarized devices. Here we performed a detailed analysis of optical properties of chiral CdSe nanoplatelets with thickness of 2 and 3 monolayers (ML) with Nacetyl-L-cysteine ligands. We studied the absorption spectra peculiarities, analyzed time-resolved photoluminescence and investigated circular and linear polarization of light passed the samples with different chirality. It was found that non-chiral nanoplatelets reveal the transformation of linear polarization into circular one due to the precence of birefringence. It was demonstrated that only one of the exciton resonances dominates in the polarization properties of chiral nanoplatelets. For chiral 2-ML-thick CdSe nanoplatelets the most pronounced chiral optical response corresponds to the heavy hole excitons and for 3-ML-thick CdSe nanoplatelets light hole excitons play the most important role. We performed complex analysis of the optical features of nanoplatelets modified by chiral ligands and combined for the first time to the best of our knowledge the polarization analysis with time resolved measurements. Moreover, we demonstrated an important role of birefringence in the semiconductor in addition to the presence of chiral ligands, which was not carefully separated before.

We develop a three-mode statistical-mechanical theory for a two-conformer
solute in a near-critical solvent. A compressible lattice model with
vacancies yields the Gaussian free-energy functional for a critical conserved
density, an orthogonal noncritical conserved mode, and the local conformer
fraction. Their couplings follow from packing and cohesive interactions,
rather than being introduced phenomenologically. Kawasaki transport of the
two conserved fields and ...

Exact theories of electrolyte structure must satisfy the nonlocal constraints imposed by electrostatic screening, yet these constraints are most commonly formulated only for homogeneous bulk systems and at the level of two-point correlations. Here, we develop a unified field-theoretic framework that extends them to general inhomogeneous ionic fluids and nonlinear charge correlations. Using a standard ...

Identifying the microscopic processes limiting conductivity is essential for understanding correlated quantum materials. In twisted bilayer graphene, metallic resistivity follows ρ ~ Tα with widely varying α, fueling competing interpretations from phonon-limited transport and umklapp scattering to strange metallicity and heavy-fermion renormalization. Here, we use terahertz excitation to selectively heat electrons while keeping the lattice cold, separating ...
