Strong chiral optical force for small chiral molecules based on electric-dipole interactions, inspired by the asymmetrical hydrozoan Velella velella
Drawing inspiration from a remarkable chiral force found in nature, we show that a static electric field combined with an optical lin $\perp$ lin polarization standing wave can exert a chiral optical force on a small chiral molecule that is several orders of magnitude stronger than other chiral opti...
