1D-inorganic crystals with atomic-scale helical motifs promise unique properties such as non-centrosymmetric symmetry, chiral-induced spin selectivity, and nonlinear optical activity. In collaboration with the Maxx Arguilia research group (UCI), we discover and characterize a new inorganic compound named gallium sulfur iodide (GaSI), which has a unique helical structure and a “squircular” cross-section and crystallizes in…Continue Reading Discovery of GaSI: A Helical 1D-Inorganic Crystal
