Ab Initio Study of Chiral Phonons in Ternary YAlSi Compound

Ternary compound YAlSi crystallizes with orthorhombic Cmcm symmetry. This structure contains Y–Si pairs of atoms, creating honeycomb-like sublattices. In this paper, we investigate the dynamical properties of the system, focusing on the chiral modes. These modes are associated with the circular moti...
