Title: Polariton ring currents and circular dichroism of Mg-porphyrin in a chiral cavity

Journal Article · · Chemical Science
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D1SC04341B · OSTI ID:1839140

Placing aromatic molecules in a chiral optical cavity can break time-reversal symmetry and generate polariton ring currents with a linearly polarized pump. Such currents can be probed by circular dichroism, with one order of magnitude enhancement.
