title: Circular dichroism nano-imaging of two-dimensional chiral metal nanostructures.
abstract: Here we report on a nanoscale circular dichroism (CD) imaging for a two-dimensional chiral pair of nanostructures to elucidate the relationship between nanoscale chirality and CD activity. The chiral pair exhibited local ellipticity as high as 42 degrees in the CD signal at the center, with signals of both handedness coexisting in one nanostructure.
