Soft Matter and Complex Systems Seminar

Chirality is a property initially created for molecules - two chiral isomers of one molecule are mirror images of themselves. In the seminar I will present several approaches to estimate the chirality both experimentally and theoretically with examples of some of them. There are several problems connected with either the psaudoscalar type of chirality index, which leads to so called chiral zeros, or the resolution of discretization of studied chiral curve, which can be depicted as chirality spectrum. I will try to explain the latter issues using geometrical or molecular examples.
