Viedma Molero, Cristóbal2023-06-202023-06-2020050031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.94.065504https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50119We report experimental results that show a large and symmetric population of D and L crystals moving into complete chiral purity, with one of the enantiomers completely disappearing. The results indicate (i) a new symmetry breaking process incompatible with the hypothesis of an initial single chiral phase or ‘‘mother crystal,’’ (ii) that total symmetry breaking and complete chiral purity can be achieved from a system that initially includes both enantiomers, and (iii) that this is achieved through a nonlinear autocatalytic-recycling process.engjournal articlehttp://prl.aps.org/open access548Chyral symmetryCrystallizationCristalografía (Geología)
