Chirality of Intermediate Filaments and Magnetic Helicity of Active Regions
Filaments which form either between or around active regions (ARs) are called intermediate filaments. In spite of various theoretical studies, the origin of the chirality of filaments is still uncovered. We investigated how intermediate filaments are related to their associated ARs, especially from the point of view of magnetic helicity and the orientation of polarity inversion lines (PILs). Th...
متن کاملMagnetic Helicity Conservation and Astrophysical Dynamos
We construct a magnetic helicity conserving dynamo theory which incorporates a calculated magnetic helicity current. In this model the fluid helicity plays a small role in large scale magnetic field generation. Instead, the dynamo process is dominated by a new quantity, derived from asymmetries in the second derivative of the velocity correlation function, closely related to the ‘twist and fold...
متن کاملOptical Chirality Enhancement in Twisted Arrays of Plasmonic Nano-rods
An important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. By enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. This enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...
متن کاملChirality in block copolymer melts: mesoscopic helicity from intersegment twist.
We study the effects of chirality at the segment scale on the thermodynamics of block copolymer melts using self-consistent field theory. In linear diblock melts where segments of one block prefer a twisted, or cholesteric, texture, we show that melt assembly is critically sensitive to the ratio of random coil size to the preferred pitch of cholesteric twist. For weakly chiral melts (large pitc...
متن کاملGalactic Distribution of Chirality Sources
Biochemical processes are known to utilize only one enantiomer, e.g. amino acids used by terrestrial life are generally the left-handed version. The concepts of chirality, optical activity and chiral enrichment are explored in the context of the origin of life in the universe before Earth. Chirality as a feature of terrestrial life suggests neither a special place for local development of homoc...
