Special Issue on Symposium R "Chirality in inorganic solids: from dissymmetry to functional properties" Submission Date: 2026-10-02 This special issue is associated to the Symposium R "Chirality in inorganic solids: from dissymmetry to functional properties" of the EMRS Spring meeting 2026. Guest editors: Eric Bousquet University of Liège, Institut de Physique (B5a), 19 Allée du 6 Août, 4000 Liège, Belgium Aldo A. Romero West Virginia University, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Morgantown, WV 26505-6315, USA Emma Mccabbe Durham University, Department of Physics, South Road, Durham DH1 3LE, UK Fernando Gomez-Ortz University of Liège, Institut de Physique (B5a), 19 Allée du 6 Août, 4000 Liège, Belgium Special issue information: This special issue will explore the emerging field of structural chirality in periodic inorganic solids, with a focus on its fundamental origins, mechanisms of control, and implications for material functionality. Structural chirality has recently been recognized as a key design principle for tailoring magnetic, optical, electronic, and transport properties. The special issue aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue across crystallography, condensed matter physics, materials chemistry, and functional materials engineering, by addressing this topic at multiple levels—from fundamental theoretical understanding to experimental realization and technological applications. We will highlight recent progress in identifying and classifying chiral crystal structures, understanding symmetry-breaking pathways that give rise to chirality, and predicting chiral phases using first-principles and symmetry-based theoretical approaches. Experimental efforts in the synthesis of chiral materials, as well as in the development of advanced characterization techniques—such as polarized neutron diffraction, second harmonic generation, and local probes like TEM and STM—will also be featured. In parallel, the symposium will explore how chirality influences material functionality, including magnetochiral anisotropy, enantioselective transport, nonlinear optical responses, and coupling to phonons, magnons, and other quasiparticles. A key emphasis will be on emerging methods to tune and switch chirality using external fields, strain, and interfaces, and how these capabilities might be leveraged in spintronics, optoelectronics, and quantum materials. With growing interest in non-centrosymmetric and low-symmetry materials, and the advent of tools capable of resolving and manipulating structural chirality, this symposium is both timely and necessary. It will provide a platform for collaboration between theorists, experimentalists, and engineers working at the forefront of materials discovery and design. Hot topics to be covered by the symposium: Quantification and classification of structural chiralityChiral phase transitions and symmetry-breaking mechanismsChiral phonons (including ultrafast) and coupling to electronic/magnetic degrees of freedomTopological features in chiral materialsFirst-principles predictions and theoretical frameworksSynthesis of enantiopure and chiral materialsAdvanced structural and spectroscopic characterizationTunable and switchable chiralityApplications in spintronics, optics, and quantum technologies Manuscript submission information: This is an invitation only special issue. For any inquiries about the appropriateness of contribution topics, please contact the guest editors via their emails. The journal’s submission platform (Editorial Manager®) is available for receiving submissions to this special issue. Please refer to the Guide for Authors to prepare your manuscript, and select the article type of “VSI: EMRS - Symposium R Chirality” when submitting your manuscript online. Submission Deadline: Oct 02, 2026 Keywords: Chirality, Periodic Crystals
