Abstract

The possibilities of manifestation of optical activity in different media (photonic crystals, metamaterials, and liquid crystals) are considered. Some interesting examples of optically active crystals are demonstrated; particular attention is paid to the relationship between the optical activity and crystal structure. Examples of manifestation of optical activity in the X-ray spectral region are presented. Specific features of the optical activity of natural organic compounds, which are related to the asymmetry of their molecules, are analyzed.

无机和有机材料中的光学活性特征

摘要

考虑了在不同介质（光子晶体，超材料和液晶）中出现光学活性的可能性。展示了一些有趣的光学活性晶体的例子。特别注意光学活性和晶体结构之间的关系。给出了在X射线光谱区域中表现出光学活性的示例。分析了天然有机化合物的光学活性的特定特征，这些特征与其分子的不对称性有关。
