CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AND OPTICAL ROTATION

Chemical distinction by nuclear spin optical rotation.

Nuclear spin optical rotation (NSOR) arising from the Faraday effect constitutes a novel, advantageous method for detection of nuclear magnetic resonance, provided that a distinction is seen between different chemical surroundings of magnetic nuclei. Efficient first-principles calculations for isolated water, ethanol, nitromethane, and urea molecules at standard laser wavelengths reveal a range...

Observation of Optical Chemical Shift by Precision Nuclear Spin Optical Rotation Measurements and Calculations.

Nuclear spin optical rotation (NSOR) is a recently developed technique for detection of nuclear magnetic resonance via rotation of light polarization, instead of the usual long-range magnetic fields. NSOR signals depend on hyperfine interactions with virtual optical excitations, giving new information about the nuclear chemical environment. We use a multipass optical cell to perform the first p...

chemical structure and optical properties of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses

purpose: to compare the optical properties of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses (iols) containing uv-absorber and to determine their chemical composition. methods: optical properties of different foldable hydrophilic and hydrophobic as well as non-foldable hydrophobic polymethylmetacrylate (pmma) iols were evaluated in three powers of 15, 22 and 25 diopters. optical properties were...

Circular Dichroism and Optical Rotation?

Optical Vortices, Faraday Rotation, Optical Activity

Characteristic solutions to Maxwell's equations, constrained to equivalence classes by constitutive equations that have certain crystal symmetries, are represented by phase 1-forms, k, such that both 3-forms vanish: k^F = 0 and k^G = 0: Simple examples are given which show the di®erences between Faraday rotation where the 3-form of Topological Torsion is not zero, A^F 6= 0, and Optical Activity...
