A new technique to identify the handedness of single nanomaterial

摘要

Chirality is an elemental property in living matter and nature,and it can be observed at various hierarchical levels from subatomic and molecular to supramolecular,nanoscopic,macroscopic,and galactic scale[1].Nowadays,nanoscalechiral substances attract much attention due to their unique properties.Particularly,carbon nanotubes,a prototypical one-dimensional material with fascinating physical properties and significant applications[2].
