On Cavitation and Chirality: A Further Assessment

The present paper provides a series of further insights, yet eliciting open questions, dealing with the effects of cavitation on crystallization occurring with mirror symmetry breaking. Although cavitation should be considered a falsely chiral influence, its mechanical and kinetic effects may largel...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present paper provides a series of further insights, yet eliciting open questions, dealing with the effects of cavitation on crystallization occurring with mirror symmetry breaking. Although cavitation should be considered a falsely chiral influence, its mechanical and kinetic effects may largely enhance spontaneous resolution of enantiomorphous crystals.
