AI总结:

该研究通过理论分析揭示了手性分子在特定光束和样品条件下可产生可测量的双折射散射信号,证明了定向分子对双折射响应的重要性。

摘要:

结构化的X射线携带轨道角动量,破坏空间反演对称性,并已被提出作为探测手性的手段。我们理论上研究了扭曲非共振X射线衍射从手性分子,并证明随机取向的分子不会产生双折射信号,无论光束的空间剖面如何。然而,如果分子被定向,则会发现双折射响应。我们的结果确立了光束和样品条件,使得可测量的双折射散射信号在轴向和焦点平均中得以存活。

英文摘要:

Structured x-rays carrying an orbital angular momentum break spatial inversion symmetry and have been proposed as probes of chirality. We theoretically investigate twisted non-resonant x-ray diffraction from chiral molecules and demonstrate that no dichroic signal can arise from randomly oriented molecules, irrespective of the beam spatial profile. However, a dichroic response emerges for oriented molecules. Our results establish the beam and sample conditions for which a measurable dichroic scattering signal survives axial and focal averaging.
