Abstract: | Two-dimensional chirality at naturally chiral gold single crystalline surfaces was detected and characterized using optical second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements. SHG rotational anisotropy (SH-RA) patterns at Au(643)S and Au(643)R surfaces were mirror symmetric to each other. Systematic SH-RA measurements at chiral Au(hkl) surfaces with the same step and kink structures but different (111) terrace widths showed a linear correlation between surface step density and SH-RA fitting parameters arising from defects. These results indicate that SH-RA measurements provide information not only on surface chirality but also on density of surface defects. |
