Conspectus Molecular chirality has been of scientific interest since 1848 when Pasteur
demonstrated its direct connection to the rotation of light by solutions of chiral compounds. In …

There have been several reports of the enantiospecific adsorption of chiral compounds from
solution onto ferromagnetic surfaces in applied magnetic fields. This work studies the …

The mechanism and kinetics of aspartic acid (Asp, HO2CCH (NH2) CH2CO2H)
decomposition on Cu (100) have been studied using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and …

Mechanisms for the spontaneous transformation of achiral chemical systems into states of
enantiomeric purity have important ramifications in modern pharmacology and potential …

The 2D Ising model is well-formulated to address problems in adsorption thermodynamics. It
is particularly well-suited to describing the adsorption isotherms predicting the surface …

Surface explosion reactions have highly nonlinear reaction kinetics that exhibit
autoacceleration under isothermal conditions. These can lead to phenomena such as …

A fundamental understanding of the enantiospecific interactions between chiral adsorbates
and understanding of their interactions with chiral surfaces is key to unlocking the origins of …

The biomolecular homochirality of living organisms and the enantiospecificity of chiral
bioactive molecules on Earth create the need for chemical processes that yield …

This works aims to expand our understanding of amino acid surface chemistry on chiral and
achiral metallic substrates. Both experimental and computational methods are employed to …

The chiral surface chemistry aims to understand the origin of enantiospecific interactions
between chiral molecules and chiral surfaces. The key to understanding the origin of …
