Anomalously rotary polarization discovered in homochiral organic ferroelectrics

Ferroelectric phase transitions are normally accompanied by structural changes in the materials. Here, Li et al. synthesize homochiral molecular crystals and utilize their ferroelectric transitions to achieve optical switches with different refractive indices for left- and right-handed polarizations...
