Chiral by Nature: Chiroptical Activity in Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles from Bacterial Biomineralization

Abstract The coexistence of chirality and magnetism in nanomaterials has been observed with metallic complexes but remains rarely achieved in magnetic oxides. Here, we identify biologically induced chiroptical activity in the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswalden...
