Chiral photoelectron angular distributions from ionization of achiral atomic and molecular species

Chiral photoelectron angular distributions from ionization of achiral atomic and molecular species

We show that the combination of two achiral components—an atomic or molecular target plus a circularly polarized photon—can yield chirally structured photoelectron angular distributions. For photoionization of CO, the angular distribution of carbon K-shell photoelectrons is chiral when the molecular...
