Description:
Author(s): E. Edlund, O. Lindgren, and M. Nilsson Jacobi We show that chiral symmetry can be broken spontaneously in one-component systems with isotropic interactions, i.e., many-particle systems having maximal a priori symmetry. This is achieved by designing isotropic potentials that lead to self-assembly of chiral surfaces. We demonstrate the principle ... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 165502] Published Fri Apr 20, 2012
