Sustainable Trails Conference 2022
Just how important are trails to your community? To your economy? How can they help grow your economy while also nurturing the health and wellbeing of your residents? And how do you balance the demands of sustainability, maintenance and the cost impact of ensuring your trails remain a valuable community asset into the future?
If anyone from your organisation, RTO, business or council – from CEO to planning, trails or recreation officers or operators – is intrigued as to the importance of trails to the fabric of our communities and what the future of trail development and management looks like, then consider attending the upcoming TRC Sustainable Trails Conference in Tasmania, Australia, this 1-3 November 2022.
An invitation extends to those in our communities with a passion and interest in the sustainability and development of world class trail networks and facilities, from mountain biking, walking, and running groups, to environmental or social organisations with a dedicated interest in outdoor active, nature-based recreation.
Registrations open until October 14th, 2022. Places are limited, get in early!

Upside-Down Alpine Village
Italian studio Network of Architecture created Hub of Huts as a well-being area that appears to defy gravity at the Alpine Hotel Hubertus in South Tyrol. It forms a natural continuation of the resort's existing well-being zone characterised by a group of inverted and upturned micro-structures with gabled roofs that collectively form a zen-like refuge for the hotel. Supported by large tree-like columns, the structure sits close to a projecting glass-bottomed pool originally created by Network of Architecture for the Italian resort in 2016.

Singapore never runs short of exciting things to do, see, taste and explore. Here is a selection of events coming up in the next months - you will be spoilt for choice!
The Singapore Food Festival (SFF) is a celebration of the amazing talent and diverse tastes of Singapore's culinary past and future.
STREAT is is the main event of the Singapore Food Festival where you can taste a range of Singapore's favourite dishes as well as a twist on some modern favourites. Entry to STREAT is free and visitors only need to pay for the food they want to sample. If you would like to pick up some cooking tips and tricks from the experts, join one of the cooking classes. The most important thing, however, is to bring a healthy appetite to the festival so you can taste and enjoy as many dishes as possible.
After its successful debut last year, Singapore's only coffee-centric festival is back this August, at an all-new spacious seaside venue!
Last year, the event attracted more than 20,000 festival-goers, including industry players, coffee lovers and families. With bigger premises this year, organisers expect even more people to turn up.
Expect lots of great coffee and food exhibitors that include Dapper Coffee in Amoy Street, Brawn & Brains in Guillemard Roard, as well as mobile specialty coffee company Slayer Coffee.
The region's most anticipated outdoor nocturnal event, the Singapore Night Festival (SNF), returns for its 10th edition in August with the theme "10 Magical Years", promising a spectacular line-up of dazzling light art installations in the heart of the city. The festival is held in the Bras Basah and Bugis precinct, which is Singapore's arts, heritage and design precinct, home to the greatest concentration of museums, historic monuments, heritage buildigs, art groups and schools, as well as lifestyle malls.
Inaugurated in 1977, the annual arts festival went on a hiatus after 2012 and returned in 2014 under the baton of Festival Director Ong Keng Sen. Today, the Singapore International Festival of Arts is the premier national performing arts festival managed by the Arts House Limited and commissioned by the National Arts Council. It aims to inspire through great international and Singapore artistic experiences in performance, theatre, dance and music. This year's curatorial theme is "Enchantment".
The International Champions Cup (ICC) is the world's premier summer football tournament and brings the best in football to iconic venues across North America, Europe, Australia, China and now Southeast Asia. It counts some of the world's most valued football teams such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain as champions in previous editions of the annual tournament.
Scheduled to take place at the National Stadium from 25 to 29 July, the ICC Singapore will feature Chelsea FC, FC Bayern Munich and FC Internazionale in a round-robin three-match tournament. The fixtures in July will mark the first time top flight European teams play each other in Singapore.
The Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix returns to the Lion City this year! This world-class event is more than just a race: it is accompanied by an enthralling entertainment programme that features international headliners.
This year's line up will include performances by pop darling Ariana Grande and electronic dance music duo The Chainsmokers, as well as Duran Duran and One Republic. Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum selling artist Calvin Harris will headline the Padang stage on 17 September.
The Foo Fighters are widely regarded as one of the greatest American rock bands. After an absence of more than 20 years, the Foo Fighters are set to return to Singapore on 26 August as part of their Southeast Asia tour.
Founded in 1994 in Seattle by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters have since released eight studio albums and earned numerous awards throughout their long music career. Until today, the band enjoys great success and is extremely popular with music fans of all ages.

February 4, 2008 Necessity catalyzes invention, so it makes sense that eventually someone would come up with a collapsible boat that doesn't require a trailer, and can be stored in a cupboard. At just 39 kg with 10 square meters of sail, the Smartkat is not only fast on the water, it is also fast to build (20 minutes), and even faster to put back in its two 180 x 30 x 30 cm bags (10 minutes), all done without tools.
Similar in concept to the Minicat, except slightly larger at 4.3 meters, the SmartKat is entirely self contained with no small parts that can get lost and turn your pride a joy into a wood duck.
The SmartKat is also adaptable because hen the wind isn't blowing, you still have options: a 3HP motor will give it a top speed of 12 knots thanks to its light weight, or you can remove the mast and use it as a swimming platform.
There are three SmartKat models – the standard EUR 3,695 model, a performance EUR3,985 model with roll jib and a EUR 4,990 model with the mast and beam made from carbon fiber.

\section{Introduction}
Chirality plays a significant role in light-matter interactions at all branches of the natural sciences including chemistry, biology, and physics~\cite{Hyde1996}.
In condensed matter physics, chiral materials can be a basal platform for application in chiroptoelectronics such as circular dichroism spectroscopy~\cite{Greenfield2006}, quantum computations~\cite{Cherson2006}, all-optical magnetic recording~\cite{Stanciu2007}, and valleytronic devices~\cite{Li2020} to name a few.
Interestingly, chirality appears in charge-density waves (CDW) via symmetry breaking with versatile physical properties~\cite{Ishioka2010,Castellan2013,Xu2020,Jiang2021,Shumiya2021,Wang2021,yang_giant_2020,Kim2020}. %
Among them, $1T$-TiSe$_2$ exhibits three-dimensional (3D) chiral stacking orders of two-dimensional (2D) CDW building blocks~\cite{Ishioka2010,Castellan2013} due to the chiroptoelectric effect~\cite{Xu2020}.

Recently, our previous work~\cite{Kim2020} demonstrated the existence of various 2D CDW chiral stacking orders in the self-assembled quasi-one-dimensional In atomic chains on Si(111) surface~\cite{Yeom1999,Bunk1999,cho2001weakly,Gonzalez2006,Wippermann2010,Kim2012,kim2013driving,zhang2014stabilization,kim2015equivalence,Cheon2015,kim2016origin,Kim2017}.
Here, each In atomic chain is dimerized parallel to the chain generating four degenerate chiral CDW building blocks due to the spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking~\cite{Cheon2015}.
Furthermore, perpendicular to the In atomic chains, the interchain coupling forces the three different stackings of the CDW building blocks to be stabilized, i.e., left-, right-, and nonchiral stacking orders~\cite{Kim2020}.
Although light-matter interaction in this unique system has been widely studied~\cite{Pedreschi1998,Chandola2009,Speiser2016,Frigge2017,Nicholson2018,Horstmann2020}, such chirality-driven optical properties (such as circular photogalvanic effect~\cite{Xu2020} and circular dichroism~\cite{Greenfield2006}) has not been explored yet.

In this Letter, we investigate the light-matter interaction between circularly polarized light and
 CDW stacking orders, using the density-functional theory (DFT) calculations.
We find that left- and right-chiral stacking orders show the circular dichroism, while nonchiral stacking order does not.
We show that the circular dichroism results from the emergent chirality of the chiral stacking orders rather than inherent chirality of a single CDW building block.
Our finding suggests that the CDW chiral stacking orders will pave the practical way to provide circular polarized light emission depending on chirality via electroluminescence.
Based on our results, we propose that a large-scale single domain with the specific chiral stacking order can be selectively induced by utilizing the circularly polarized light.

Self-assembled In nanowires on Si(111) consist of two In atomic zigzag subchains that are stitched with adjacent Si chains~\cite{Bunk1999}.
Below $T \approx 125$ K, two indium atomic subchains undergo a CDW transition from the metallic $4\times1$ state to the insulating $4\times2$ state via spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking~\cite{Yeom1999,Gonzalez2006,Wippermann2010,kim2013driving,kim2016origin}.
The broken mirror symmetry leads to the  four energetically-degenerate but symmetrically-distinct $4\times2$ CDW building blocks $\{a,b,c,d\}$, each of which is geometrically chiral.
Among them, chiral and achiral pairs can be assigned depending on their symmetry relations:
for example, $a$ and $b$ (or $a$ and $d$) are a chiral pair related by the broken mirror reflection symmetry operator $M_x$, while $a$ and $c$ (or equivalently, $b$ and $d$) are an achiral pair related by a half translation along the $x$ direction~\cite{Kim2020}.
As a result, the achiral pair such as $a$ and $c$ shares the same bulk electronic properties.
On the other hand, the electronic properties between the chiral pair such as $a$ and $b$ are related by $M_x$, as discussed in detail later.

When two kinds of $4\times2$ CDW structures are stacked alternatively along the $y$ direction,
stacking between the chiral pair (hereafter, we denote as $ab$ and $ad$) is energetically favored over one between the achiral pair ($aa$ and $ac$); see also Fig.~S1 and Table~S1~\cite{Supple}.
Interestingly, this leads to the emergence of chiral ($abcd$ and $badc$) or nonchiral ($ad$) stacking orders, as evidenced by the previous DFT calculation and scanning tunneling microscope (STM) observation~\cite{Kim2020}.

To investigate the effect of the geometrical chirality in CDW on optical properties, we begin to consider $a$ and $b$ structures, which are a chiral pair related by $M_x$ [Fig.~1(a)].
$M_x$ gives rise to a symmetry relation between energy bands of $a$ and $b$ structures as $E^{a}_n(k_x,k_y) = E^{b}_n(-k_x,k_y)$, where $n$ is the band index.
Moreover, due to the time-reversal symmetry, the energy bands of each $4\times2$ structure are constrained by
$E^{i}_n(k_x,k_y) = E^{i}_n(-k_x,-k_y)$ where $i=a,b$, and thus $E^{a}_n(k_x,k_y) = E^{b}_n(k_x,-k_y)$.
This is why two $4\times2$ structures, whose Brillouin zones (BZs) are rectangles, show the same energy dispersions and orbital characters
along the high symmetry lines $\overbar{\Gamma X}, \overbar{XM}, \overbar{MY}, \text{and}~ \overbar{Y\Gamma}$ [Fig.~1(b)].
The insulating band structure originated from the CDW formation allows us to explore the role of the chirality of CDW in the optical properties through the direct interband transitions by circularly polarized light.

For optical properties, we calculate the degree of circular polarization $\eta^{nm}(\mathbf k)$~\cite{VASPBERRY}, which is given by
\begin{align}
\begin{split}
 \eta^{nm}(\mathbf k) = \frac{|P_+^{nm}(\mathbf k)|^2-|P_-^{nm}(\mathbf k)|^2}{|P_+^{nm}(\mathbf k)|^2+|P_-^{nm}(\mathbf k)|^2}.
\end{split}
\end{align}
This $\mathbf k$-resolved quantity distinguishes left and right circularly polarized ($\sigma_+$ and $\sigma_-$) light absorption between the valence and the conduction bands with band indices $m$ and $n$, respectively.
Here, $P^{nm}_{\pm}(\mathbf k)=P^{nm}_{x}(\mathbf k)\pm i P^{nm}_{y}(\mathbf k)$, where the matrix element is given by $P^{nm}_{x,y}(\mathbf k)=\bra{\psi_{\mathbf k}^n} \hat p_{x,y} \ket{\psi_{\mathbf k}^m}$.
Berry curvature of the $n$-th band in terms of the matrix element $P^{nm}_{x,y}(\mathbf k)$ is given by~\cite{yao2008valley,chang1996berry}
\begin{align}
\begin{split} \label{eq:berry_circular}
 \Omega_z^n(\mathbf k)
 = & -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m_e^2} \sum_{m\neq n} \frac{\eta^{nm}(\mathbf k)[|P_+^{mn}(\mathbf k)|^2+|P_-^{mn}(\mathbf k)|^2] }{\left[E_n(\mathbf k)-E_m(\mathbf k)\right]^2}.
\end{split}
\end{align}
From this equation, we note that the symmetry transformation property of $\eta^{nm}(\mathbf k)$ follows that of $\Omega_{z}^{n}(\mathbf k)$.
The k-resolved interband optical transition rate between valence and conduction bands is obtained from Fermi's golden rule within the electric dipole approximation~\cite{fang2015ab}:
\begin{align}
\begin{split} \label{eq:interband_opt}
I_{\pm}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k) \sim \frac{\hbar^2}{\varepsilon^2} \sum_{n,m} |P^{nm}_{\pm}(\mathbf k)|^2 \delta(E_n(\mathbf k)-E_m(\mathbf k)-\varepsilon).
\end{split}
\end{align}
We only consider the direct optical transition at $\mathbf k$ between valence and conduction bands. The $1/\varepsilon^{2}$ factor comes from the conversion between the square of the gauge field $A^2$ and the incoming light intensity $E^2$.

The symmetry relation between $a$ and $b$ structures also reveals in the degree of circular polarization $\eta^{nm} (\mathbf k)$ of each structure, hereafter $\eta_{i} (\mathbf k)$ ($i=a,b$) [Fig.~1(c)].
Due to the absence of inversion and mirror symmetries, $\eta_i(\mathbf k)$ shows nonzero finite values and $\eta_{i}(k_x,k_y)$ is odd owing to time-reversal symmetry $\Theta$: $\eta_{i}(k_x,k_y) = - \eta_{i}(-k_x,-k_y)$.
In addition, $M_x$ gives rise to the following relation between two structures as $\eta_{a}(k_x,k_y) =  - \eta_{b}(-k_x,k_y)$.
Hence, the combination of $\Theta$ and $M_x$ leads to
$\eta_{a}(k_x,k_y) = \eta_{b}(k_x,-k_y)$, which means that they are related by $M_y$.
The relation between $\eta_{a}(\mathbf k)$ and $\eta_{b}(\mathbf k)$ is clearly seen in the line profiles along the high-symmetry lines [Fig.~1(d)].
They are the same along the $\overbar{\Gamma X}$ and $\overbar{MY}$ lines
while they are opposite along the $\overbar{XM}$ and $\overbar{Y\Gamma}$ lines, showing a strong momentum-selective circular dichroism of $a$ and $b$ structures.

In order to see the optical transition rate under left (right) circularly polarized light $\sigma_+ (\sigma_-)$, which is more appropriate quantity that can be measured in optical experiments,
we calculate the $\mathbf k$-resolved interband optical transition rate for $I_{\pm}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)$ in Eq.~(\ref{eq:interband_opt}) along the high-symmetry lines $\overbar{\Gamma X}, \overbar{XM}, \overbar{MY}, \text{and}~ \overbar{Y\Gamma}$.
We find that $I_{\pm}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)$ has nonzero finite values only along the $\overbar{XM}$ line [Fig.~1(e)] where the $p_x$ orbital character is strong [Fig.~1(b)].
Furthermore, we find that the circular dichroism $I_{+}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)-I_{-}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k) $ of the $a$ structure along the $\overbar{XM}$ line is opposite to its chiral partner $b$ [Fig.~1(f)], which is consistent with $\eta_{i}(\mathbf k)$ [Fig.~1(d)].
Note that the magnitude of the circular dichroism can be enhanced by manipulating the degree of symmetry breaking (see Fig.~S2~\cite{Supple}).

Based on the understanding of the optical response of $4\times2$ CDW structures,
we investigate the nonchiral stacking orders (NCSO) composed of two $4\times2$ CDW structures.
We consider two representative NCSO $ad$ and $bc$, which are related by $M_x$ [Fig.~2(a)].
$M_x$ gives rise to the symmetry relation on the energy bands of the two as $E^{ad}_n(k_x,k_y) = E^{bc}_n(-k_x,k_y)$.
Moreover, due to the glide mirror symmetry $G_x$, $E^{i}_n(k_x,k_y) = E^{i}_n(-k_x,k_y)$ holds and thus we obtain $E^{ad}_n(\mathbf k) = E^{bc}_n(\mathbf k)$.
Hence, their band structures are the same along the lines $\overbar{\Gamma X}, \overbar{XM'}, \overbar{M'Y'}, \text{and}~ \overbar{Y'\Gamma}$ [Fig.~2(b)].
The orbital-projected band structure shows the direct band gap at the $X$ point with the strong $p_x$ orbital character near the Fermi level.

For the optical properties, $\eta_{ad}(\mathbf k)$ and $\eta_{bc}(\mathbf k)$ are related by $M_y$ from $M_x$ and $\Theta$ [Fig.~2(c)].
Notably, owing to the presence of the glide mirror symmetry $G_x$ [Fig.~2(a)] as well as $\Theta$, $\eta_i(\mathbf k)$ of each NCSO has the symmetry constraint as $\eta_i(k_x,k_y)=\eta_i(k_x,-k_y)$, which means that $\eta_i(\mathbf k)$ of each NCSO is itself $M_y$ symmetric.
Hence, with the relation $\eta_{ad}(k_x,k_y) = \eta_{bc}(k_x,-k_y)$ constrained by $M_x\Theta$,  we obtain $\eta_{ad}(\mathbf k)=\eta_{bc}(\mathbf k)$ [Fig.~2(c)].
This leads to the same optical transition rates $I_{\pm}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)$ between $ad$ and $bc$ [Fig.~2(d)].
Similar to the $a$ and $b$ structures, there is no $I_{\pm}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)$ intensity except for the $\overbar{XM'}$ line where $p_x$ orbital character is strong.
Moreover, unlike the $a$ and $b$ structures, the difference $I_{+}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)-I_{-}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)$ [Fig.~2(e)] shows no circular dichroism for NCSO.
This is consistent with the intuition that the nonchiral stacking order does not exhibit circular dichroism due to the cancellation of the opposite chiralities between chiral partners $a$ and $d$ (or $b$ and $c$) when stacked along the $y$ direction.

We now consider chiral stacking orders composed of four subsequent $4\times2$ CDW structures, which are classified as left- and right-chiral stacking orders (LCSO and RCSO) represented by $abcd$ and $badc$, respectively [Figs.~3(a) and 3(b)].
Here, the unit cell of chiral stacking orders is chosen as a parallelogram with the $8\times2$ periodicity [dashed lines in Figs.~3(a) and 3(b)],
which is different from the rectangle unit cell with the $16\times2$ periodicity of the previous study~\cite{Kim2020}.
Since the two chiral stacking orders are related by $M_x$, they are the chiral partner of each other.
$M_x$ and $M_x\Theta$ impose constraints on the energy bands of two different chiral stacking orders,
$E^{abcd}_n(k_x,k_y) = E^{badc}_n(-k_x,k_y)$
and $E^{abcd}_n(k_x,k_y) = E^{badc}_n(k_x,-k_y)$, respectively.
Thus, LCSO and RCSO have identical band structures along the $\overbar{Y'\Gamma}$ $(k_x=0)$ and $\overbar{\Gamma X}$ $(k_y=0)$ lines [Figs.~3(a) and 3(b)].
However, their band structures are different along the $\overbar{XM'} (k_x=\pi)$ and $\overbar{M'Y'} (k_y=\pi)$ lines, in contrast to the above mentioned $4\times2$ and NCSO cases.
The difference between chiral and nonchiral stacking orders results from different shapes of BZs: LCSO and RCSO have the distorted hexagonal BZ [red lines in Fig.~3(c)] while the $4\times2$ and NCSO do the rectangular BZ [Figs.~1(c) and 2(c)].
Note that, due to the $M_x$, band structure of LCSO along the $\overbar{XM'}$ is the same with that of RCSO along the $\overbar{X'M''}$.

For the optical properties, $\eta_{abcd}(\mathbf k)$ and $\eta_{badc}(\mathbf k)$ are also related by $M_y$ from $M_x\Theta$ [Fig.~3(c)].
Due to the $M_x$, $\eta_{abcd}(\mathbf k)$ along the $\overbar{XM'}$ is the opposite of $\eta_{badc}(\mathbf k)$ along the $\overbar{X'M''}$.
The chiral partners $abcd$ and $adcb$ have a difference in the optical transition rates $I_{\pm}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)$ along the $\overbar{XM'}$ [Figs.~3(d) and 3(e)], which is originated from the different band structures in Figs.~3(a) and 3(b).
This feature is different from the NCSO case where the chiral partners $ad$ and $bc$ share the same $I_{\pm}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)$.

Even though LCSO and RCSO have the same numbers of chiral partners in the stacking configuration, they exhibit nonzero circular dichroism $I_{+}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)-I_{-}(\varepsilon,\mathbf k)$ along the $\overbar{XM'}$ in contrast to NCSO.
This striking result implies that the nonvanishing circular dichroism arises from the emergent chirality of two chiral stacking orders rather than from the inherent chirality of the $4\times2$ building blocks themselves.
The emergent chiralities of two chiral stacking orders can be geometrically characterized by using the opposite phase shift vectors [arrows marked in Figs.~3(a) and 3(b)] and topological chiral winding numbers~\cite{Kim2020}.
Note that, despite the opposite emergent chiralities between two chiral stacking orders, circular dichroism of the two in Figs.~3(d) and 3(e) are not exactly opposite to each other due to the $8\times2$ unit cell used~\cite{note}.

\begin{figure}[hb]
\includegraphics[width=.8\linewidth]{Fig_04.pdf}
\caption{

In (c), squares and circles indicate $1 \times 1$ of Si substrates and $8 \times 2$ of stacking orders, respectively.
}
\end{figure}

To visualize the electronic nature of the emergent chirality, we plot the charge densities of the highest valence band (HVB) and the lowest conduction band (LCB) states at the $X$ point for the three stacking orders in Fig.~4(a).
For NCSO $ad$, the charge densities are evenly distributed in two In nanowires separated by Si zigzag chains, keeping the glide symmetry $G_x$ of the system.
The glide symmetry hinders the chirality from emerging and thus there is no circular dichroism [Fig.~2(e)].
However, for the chiral stacking orders $abcd$ and $badc$, the charge densities are unevenly distributed due to the absence of the glide symmetry.
The absence of the glide symmetry allows the emergence of chirality, thereby leading to nonzero circular dichroism [Figs.~3(d) and 3(e)].
Note that the charge densities of two systems are related by $M_x$ as
 $|\psi^{abcd}_{(k_x,k_y)}(x,y)|^2 = |\psi^{badc}_{(-k_x,k_y)}(-x,y)|^2$.

Furthermore, the emergent chirality is also seen in the filled state STM images simulated by DFT calculations [Fig.~4(b)] and their Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) images [Fig.~4(c)].
In FFT images, arrows connecting primary FFT peaks (colored by white, red, and blue) clearly highlight the distinct chiralities of three different CDW stacking orders.
We can also observe more or less consistent behaviors in FFT images of experimentally measured filled state STM images depending on chirality (see Fig.~S3~\cite{Supple}).

Thanks to the light-matter interaction, it may be able to grow a single CDW chiral stacking order up to macroscopic scale by cooling down under circularly polarized light.
By switching the handedness of circularly polarized light, one may tune the chirality of stacking orders as demonstrated in $1T$-TiSe$_2$~\cite{Xu2020}.
Once such a macroscopic single chiral stacking order is obtained below the CDW transition temperature, the corresponding circular dichroism response of each chiral stacking order could be experimentally probed.
In addition, the macroscopic single chiral stacking order would exhibit highly-resolved FFT images as shown in the simulated STM images [Fig.~4(c)].

Based on the first-principles DFT calculations, we have investigated the unprecedented optical properties of CDW stacking orders in self-assembled In nanowires on Si(111).
We found that the left- and right-chiral stacking orders show the distinct circular dichroism along the high symmetry lines, while the nonchiral stacking order does not.
The circular dichroism is attributed to the emergent chirality of the chiral stacking orders rather than the inherent chirality of a single CDW building block.
We also revealed that the broken glide mirror symmetry of the chiral stacking orders is responsible for the microscopic origin of the circular dichroism.
Our findings suggest that the chiral stacking orders of quasi-1D CDW wires are optically active, which can lead to diverse optical active phenomena such as circular dichroism or circularly polarized luminescence depending on chirality.
Additionally, our work will shed light on understanding of light-matter interaction in recent chiral CDW materials such as  AV$_3$Sb$_5$~\cite{Jiang2021,Shumiya2021,Wang2021}.

Season in review: Vanishing offense holds Tigers back in 2019
By Eric Blum Columbia Daily Tribune
Coming into the 2019 season, Missouri's offense was the safer pick as to which side of the ball the Tigers possessed more difference-making ability.
Through six games, MU validated that hypothesis, scoring more than 30 points in each contest to build a 5-1 record.
Then, the offensive momentum disappeared, apparently vanishing somewhere on the flight to Nashville en route to a shocking loss to Vanderbilt in mid-October.
The Tigers' offense showed signs of life in their last two games of the season, but the damage of a five-game losing streak already had been done. Missouri never came close to regaining top form, and that's a big reason why no offensive staff members, including offensive coordinator Derek Dooley and head coach Barry Odom, will be back in Columbia in 2020.
When evaluating the offense in 2019, it feels like we're looking at two different squads and blending them into a combined effort.
But that's what this past season as a whole was like for Missouri: peaks and valleys.
MU established a road map to offensive success in 2017 under the guidance of then-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel. With Drew Lock, now of the Denver Broncos, at quarterback, the Tigers posted a six-game winning streak to end the regular season, scoring 45 points or more in each victory.
Heupel moved to Orlando to become the head coach at Central Florida that December, but Lock, the driving force behind the success, was in place for one more season.
Lock continued his proficiency under Dooley, even with some statistical drawbacks. Yet the Tigers' 8-4 season in 2018 — capped by a Liberty Bowl appearance — gave the impression their offensive strides were undisputed moving forward, and the first six games of 2019 only reinforced those beliefs.
Missouri was ranked No. 22 in the nation after a homecoming win over Mississippi on Oct. 12. Despite losing its season opener to Wyoming, MU scored 233 points through the first half of its schedule.
The Tigers were second in the FBS with an 11-game streak of scoring 30 points or more.
The 233 points are an impressive stat, until you realize that was nearly 77% of Missouri's total points scored the entire season.
If Missouri had continued that pace and scored 233 more points for a season total of 466, that would've put the Tigers in a three-way tie for 10th in the FBS with 38.8 points per game.
Fittingly, one of the two teams Missouri would've been tied with was Appalachian State, coached at the time by new MU boss Eliah Drinkwitz.
Instead, Missouri's 73 home-stretch points plummeted it to a three-way tie for 91st at 25.3 points per game along with Maryland and Duke.
In total offense, the Tigers ranked even lower at 95th in the FBS with 374.3 yards per game. The top five teams in the country in total offense are the four teams in the College Football Playoff (LSU, Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State) along with Heupel's UCF.
Individually, Missouri's offense this year revolved around quarterback Kelly Bryant. Dooley said the Tigers' playbook didn't change much from Lock to Bryant, but it appears the tweaks that were made suited the Clemson graduate transfer.
But Bryant wasn't at 100% health for the final seven-plus games of 2019, ever since a low hit he took from Troy's Travis Sailo.
With Bryant's mobility limited, significant portions of the playbook went out the window. The aura around the Tigers' productive offense was gone.
Statistics of the downfall were plastered all over social media — to name two, 32 straight offensive possessions without a touchdown and only one touchdown by a wide receiver in Southeastern Conference play.
Missouri ranked 74th in the FBS in passing offense with 222.6 yards per game and 75th in yards rushing per game with a 151.7 average.
The Tigers' subpar marks were the result of lapses from every position group. Only a few bright spots existed on offense after the victory over Ole Miss.
Missouri's run game, led by Larry Rountree's 829 yards and nine touchdowns on the year, never got established in a substantive way, which allowed opposing defenses to sit back with as many as eight defensive backs at a time and ground the MU aerial attack.
To make matters worse, Bryant would still feel the pass rush at times and be sacked or forced out of the pocket. That led to plenty of punts over the final six games.
Overall, the best word to describe Missouri's offense in 2019 is underachieving, with all proof existing in the early part of the season.
With Bryant, tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, three veteran offensive linemen (Trystan Colon-Castillo, Tre'Vour Wallace-Simms and Yasir Durant) as well as receivers Johnathon Johnson and Jonathan Nance graduating or forgoing remaining eligibility to test NFL Draft waters, the Missouri offense has its work cut out for it in 2020.
Drinkwitz, who will have several talented returning players but many holes to fill, is known as an inventive play-caller who can spark a dormant offense.
Next fall is a great chance to prove that with his new scheme.

by Herbert Janson, SM 276 pp.
This book features the religious life and ministry of a special Marianist. In addition, the history of the Society of Mary as it struggled against anticlericalism in France and in Germany during Brother Charles Biehler's lifetime is presented in detail. These various events had a direct bearing on Marianist education in the United States.
That Brother Charles Biehler, SM, is a Marianist mathematics genius who needs to be acknowledged, is sufficient reason for publishing his life. However, there are two other equally significant reasons for this work.
First, Brother Charles Biehler's teaching ministry extends back through fellow Marianist Father Jean B. Lalanne to the very foundation of the Society of Mary by Father William Joseph Chaminade. Father Lalanne, one of the seven original members of the Society of Mary, recognized Brother Biehler's outstanding mathematical talent and brought him to teach at Collège Stanislas. There Brother Biehler's teaching genius flowered and was recognized by his students, and Brother Biehler's original mathematical ideas were recognized by the mathematicians of France and Europe, particularly by Charles Hermite.
Second, Brother Charles Biehler's teaching ministry extends forward to the present day in the great Marianist schools of the United States. Father Jean B. Lalanne, seen by many in education as the French Cardinal Newman, raised Collège Stanislas to a prestigious position in all France. He did this by recruiting outstanding Marianist teachers to exercise their teaching apostolate there. Then, in 1903, when the Marianist presence at Collège Stanislas was proscribed by State law, it seemed the Marianist influence in schools of Lalanne and Biehler was ended. American Brothers of Mary educated at Collège Stanislas brought Lalanne and Biehler's teaching ideas and methods to the United States. Here in the United States the Marianist teaching apostolate flowered from 1903 to the present day.

Major Themes in Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Anaya M. Baker
Frankenstein is often considered a horror story because of its film interpretations, yet the novel written by Mary Shelley is more tragic than horrific, and filled with philosophic, cultural, and religious themes. Many of these themes appear less as assertions or viewpoints by Shelley than as points that the reader is left to ponder even after closing the book.
Shelley's novel is considered one of the classics because of its universal themes, such as science, the pursuit of knowledge, religion, the dynamic between parent and child, evolution, education and child development.
It is important to note that, contrary to popular belief, Frankenstein was in fact the name of the scientist who created the creature or monster. The creature himself is not named in the novel.
Shelley subtitled "Frankenstein" as "The modern Prometheus."
Science and The Pursuit of Knowledge
The creation of Frankenstein's monster is presented as an unsurpassed feat of scientific discovery, yet one which brings only sorrow, terror, and devastation to his maker. In a sense, the creation of the monster is a punishment inflicted upon Frankenstein for his unbridled pursuit of knowledge. This reflects themes presented in Marlowe's Dr. Faustus , in which Faustus is condemned to hell for his overreaching ambition. These ambitions of Faustus and Frankenstein appear to be beyond the range of information available to mortal, even infringing upon knowledge meant to be held only by God. In the case of Frankenstein, he has usurped the power of the Divine by creating life without the union of male and female.
Shelley wrote Frankenstein during an age where scientific advances were exploding rapidly. The discovery of such concepts as electricity had the power to effectively shake the foundations of previously established constructs and truths about the natural world. What is interesting to note, however, is that these issues, considered very "modern" in Shelley's day, continue to resound within our present age. Our society currently wrestles with such issues as artificial intelligence, cloning, DNA, genetics, neuroscience, and stem cells, which ultimately leads to controversy regarding the roles, uses, and limitations of science.
Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein at only nineteen years of age.
Relationship Between the Scientist and His Creature
Shelley makes references both to Milton's Paradise Lost and the Garden of Eden in the novel. In one interpretation, Frankenstein can be considered the creator of the his creature, similar to a god. Like the creation of Adam, Frankenstein has endowed the creature with life, and even fashioned him in his own image, albeit in monstrously exaggerated form. Though the monster does not eat of any proverbial fruit, his sin consists of simply being, existing as an aberration of natural order and law. Thus the monster is cast from the home of his creator as a fallen being, and forced to wander the earth with the knowledge of himself as an imperfect being.
Another way of interpreting the relationship between the two is to consider Frankenstein the father figure of the monster. It is worth noting that there is a theme of impotence here, as Frankenstein has created the child without a woman, and also never manages to consummate his wedding night. Even the monster is incapable of relations with a woman, as there is no more of his kind.
Frankenstein, for lack of a better phrase, is simply a bad parent. He bestows life upon his "child," yet refuses in any way to care for his emotional needs. There are gender and class issues at work here, during the time that Shelley wrote the novel it likely would not have been expected of a father to provide for more than simply the physical needs of the child. Shelley's own father has been characterized as being emotionally distant, a prime reason for her later issues with attachment. It could be considered, given the social climate of the time, that Frankenstein might simply have just been in need of a mother!
Evolution, Education, and Child Development
When the monster is first created, he is limited to purely sensory phenomena. He is not unlike an animal without higher cognitive development, or a baby just after birth. At this stage, the creature lacks the vital self-awareness of mind or existence. Eventually he begins to make cause and effect inferences between his surroundings and his own bodily sensations. Still ruled by immediate physiological needs such as hunger, thirst, cold, the creature is wholly consumed with the satiation of these needs.
As the monster's tale progresses, there are parallels to the ways in which the learning and growth processes work in humans, through evolution and through the stages of childhood. Eventually the creature comes to ponder higher philosophical questions concerning the nature of identity, self, community and belonging, indicative of the questions asked by humans over the ages and into the present day.
A Classic Novel
Frankenstein is considered a classic novel, one which continues to be read and appreciated long after its initial publication. While storytelling and the iconic characters and scenes do have a contributing role in the book's status as a classic, much of its popularity is due to the fact that many of the themes presented in the novel resound into the present age. The book exists not as a static representation of a period in history, but as continued fodder for timeless questions of identity, humanity, knowledge, technology, and evolution.

The Role of Science In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Mary Shelleys Frankenstein examines the pursuit of knowledge within the industrial age, shining a spotlight on the ethical, moral, and religious implications of science. Did the scientist go too far in his creation of the monster, or was he only...
For the Monster in All of Us
Moral Man on June 14, 2016:
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is nearing two centuries. At the time the medicine was still poor and deaths would result more often from diseases. There werent any vaccines yet. The desire to protect, prolong, and preserve life is strong in this novel, so strong that Dr. Frankenstein assembles a living human from dead bodies and gives the creature superhuman strength and stamina. Unfortunately, hlthe creature turns out physically ugly and deformed, and is shunned by Dr. Frankenstein and almost everybody. One question is this: how or why did the creature become physically ugly? Did Dr. Frankenstein knowingly and intentionally make him this way? Was the creature made handsome and for some reason become ugly during the time it was assembled to the time it became alive? In other words, something happened that transformed the creature to become ugly which the novel doesnt explain and doesnt account for. Dr. Frankenstein seems surprised that the creature turned ugly and states that it was not his intention to create ugliness.
Guilty Pleasure Foods to Die For
It is Not Just a Song
Electronic Music Review: "The Boor" by Priest of Beards
The creature leads a miserable existence. It spies on a blind man and his family. The blind man is Delacey who is the only person who shows kindness to the creature. The creature confronts Dr. Frankenstein and requests that a mate or a female companion be made for him. If the Doctor refuses, the creature threatens mayhem. Dr. Frankenstein decides to abort the incomplete female creature. He will regret it. Doctor Frankenstein fears that if a female creature was made the two would mate and fill with the world with monsters. He should have thought of that before creating the male creature.
If Doctor Frankenstein had the genius and intelligence to create human life, then 1) he should have the ability to make the two creatures infertile, and 2) he should have the ability to make the male creature handsome or normal. Why not give the creature a facelift? Theres no execuse to allow the creature to continue living in misery. The creature was miserable, and it made sure to make Doctor Frankenstein miserable.
Countless movie versions and book versions and graphic novels of Frankenstein have been made. In one illustrated book version for children, the dying Doctor Frankenstein tells Walton that he should have taken good care of his creation and he should not have abandoned it just because it was physically ugly. The theme of being morally responsible to what you create and to what you give birth to is a strong message here. Doctor Frankenstein was irresponsible and stupid, and both he and his creation suffer for it. The creature didnt ask to be created and didnt ask to be born in such a cruel, heartless world.
The theme of physical ugliness and the misery it causes is also prominent here. Almost everybody shunned the creature and mistreated him due to his physical ugliness. The creature was gentle at first, but became violent and evil when he realized he would never be accepted in society. A cruel, heartless, stupid society turned a good person into an evil one. The moral here is that if a person is treated badly then he may become bad.
Frankenstein is important as literature and as a morality lesson.
Manuchehr Shahdodov on June 24, 2015:
1 August 17 .. year to board the vessel withdrawn from Arkhangelsk polar expedition floe nails with dog sledding. Survivor traveler-European, Victor Frankenstein tells his life story to the captain. This story who found a way to "revive dead matter" student-scientist and his people to the path of revenge became the basis for the generation of intelligent novel that is recognized by many as the first work of science fiction.
Colin Garrow from Inverbervie, Scotland on June 17, 2015:
I read Frankenstein many years ago when I was in my 'romantic' literature phase and trawling through PB Shelley et al. While I enjoyed it, I think it's hard to read the book now with so much emphasis having been put on the scary elements of the story by movie makers. I think Mary Shelley's ideas have, at least on the big screen, been lost and/or ignored, and a lot of people would be disappointed to read the book after seeing one of those movies, but I suppose that's Hollywood for you. Very interesting, voted up.
Lisa from WA on June 24, 2013:
Frankenstein is one of my favorite novels of all time. I agree with you that its continued popularity has a lot to do with the questions it poses that are still just as relevant today as they were when it was written.
Anaya M. Baker (author) from North Carolina on March 12, 2012:
Thanks for stopping by Guinigor! I love that timeless aspect of Frankenstein...
Gulnigor Tilloeva on March 12, 2012:
Amazing and very interesting .It teaches moraliry,humanity,kindness ,generousity,curiousity and makes us think of our dids.
Jason R. Manning from Sacramento, California on November 11, 2010:
Wow, first of your hubs I have read and I certainly am now a fan. You bring home the depth of these concepts by actually having read the many influential machinations of the time period. I would venture to say that in these earlier time periods, these writers had longer periods of reflection and therefore the fortitude to bring forth such vivid parallels. Great article, I cannot wait to come back and dive into more of your thoughts.

Anaphylaxis (say "ann-uh-fuh-LAK-suss") is a severe allergic reaction that affects the entire body (systemic). It can occur within a few seconds or minutes after a person is exposed to a substance (allergen or antigen).
Raised, red bumps on the skin (hives or wheals).
Rapid swelling, either in one area or over the entire body. Swelling is most serious when it involves the lips, tongue, mouth, or throat and interferes with breathing.
Low blood pressure, shock, and unconsciousness.
The sooner symptoms occur after exposure to the substance, the more severe the anaphylactic reaction is likely to be. An anaphylactic reaction may occur with the first exposure to an allergen, with every exposure, or after several exposures. An anaphylactic reaction can be life-threatening and is a medical emergency. Emergency care is always needed for an anaphylactic reaction.
