Abstract

Abstract:

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of the N⁺H…O bond in chiral alanine crystals around 270 K was detected in situ by Raman vibrational scattering with b(cc)b geometry. An electron spin-flip transition of the N⁺H…O mode in D-/L-alanine was observed by the scattering of light with left/right orientation and its spin projection antiparallel to the direction of propagation. It is an internal magnetic field originated from the spin-orbit interaction. An obvious Raman wavenumber shift with opposite in sign and roughly one third of the asymmetry (A) of the scattered photon between D- and L-alanine crystals was observed. This shift was not seen in polycrystalline powder measurements because spin is an axial vector. An electron spin-flip transition of the methyne (C_α－H) mode around 260 K was shown to be approximative coincidence by examining the temperature-dependent relative intensity of asymmetric Raman scattering with c(aa)c geometry. This article provides evidence for the true chirality and parity-time (PT) asymmetry in molecular clusters of D- and L-alanine crystals.
