Abstract
Chiral molecules have no plane of symmetry and occur as right- or left-handed enantiomers. Although these molecules play an essential role in chemistry and especially in biology, their physics has not been much studied until quite recently. For that purpose highly sensitive reliable informative methods for detection and quantitative analysis of chirality in molecular structure are needed.
