	4.2.1 Circular dichroism spectroscopy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The phenomenon of circular dichroism is very sensitive to the secondary structure of polypeptides and proteins (Figure 21 and Figure 22).
		Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a form of light absorption spectroscopy that measures the difference in absorbance of right- and left-circularly polarized light (rather than the commonly used absorbance of isotropic light) by a substance.
		Historically, ellipticity is the unit of circular dichroism and is defined as the tangent of the ratio of the minor to major elliptical axis.

	Circular dichroism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Circular dichroism (CD), is the differential absorption of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light.
		Molar circular dichroism and molar ellipticity, [θ], are readily interconverted by the equation:
		As a consequence, circular dichroism is exhibited by biological molecules, because of the dextrorotary (e.g.

	Circular polarization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In electrodynamics, circular polarization of electromagnetic radiation is a polarization such that the tip of the electric field vector, at a fixed point in space, describes a circle as time progresses.
		Circular polarization is a limiting case of the more general condition of elliptical polarization.
		The term "circular polarization" is often used erroneously to describe mixed polarity signals used mostly in FM radio (87.5 to 108.0 MHz), where a vertical and a horizontal component are propagated simultaneously by a single or a combined array.

	Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
		Circular Dichroism (CD) is observed when optically active matter absorbs left and right hand circular polarized light slightly differently.
		Rotation of the polarization plane (or the axes of the dichroic ellipse) by a small angle a occurs when the phases for the 2 circular components become different, which requires a difference in the refractive index n.
		Circular dichroism spectroscopy is used to gain information about the secondary structure of proteins and polypeptides in solution.

	Magnetic X-ray Circular Dichroism
		When the orbital motion of the 2p states is in the same sense as the circular motion of the incident light the transition probability is larger; when the two motions are in opposite directions the transition probability is smaller.
		As a result, for light of a particular handedness, the L3 peak in the absorption spectrum, arising from the excitation of the 2p3/2 electrons, may be enhanced, whilst the L2 peak, arising from the excitation of the 2p1/2 electrons, may be reduced.
		Evaluation of the areas under the L3 and L2 peaks in the dichroism (difference) spectrum, and under the L3+L2 peaks in the spectrum formed by summing the 2 curves together, allows the spin and orbital magnetic moments for each individual cobalt atom to be evaluated.

	Magnetic properties of transition-metal multilayers studied with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy
		X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy, first suggested by Erskine and Stern [13] and pioneered by Schütz and coworkers in both the near-edge [14] and extended fine-structure regimes [15], is one of those techniques.
		The correlations between the measured angle-dependent white-line and dichroism intensities and the anisotropic charge and spin distribution in the Wigner-Seitz cell and the anisotropic orbital moment are expressed by three powerful sum rules [28-30] to be discussed below.
		This ensures that the measured dichroism signal is normalized to the same number of atoms in the sample [36].

	Magnetic Circular Dichroism in X-ray Absorption — ESRF
		X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) is considered to be one of the most important discoveries in the field of magnetism in the last two decades.
		In an XMCD experiment, the quantity studied is the difference in the X-ray absorption spectra recorded with left and right circularly-polarised photons while the sample magnetisation is kept parallel or antiparallel to the direction of the propagation of the incident X-ray beam.
		This implies that a dichroic effect at the K-edges is only due to the orbital moments in the valence shell.

	Circular Dichroism
		Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy measures differences in the absorption of left-handed polarized light versus right-handed polarized light which arise due to structural asymmetry.
		The absence of regular structure results in zero CD intensity, while an ordered structure results in a spectrum which can contain both positive and negative signals.
		The CD spectrum of a protein in the "near-uv" spectral region (250-350 nm) can be sensitive to certain aspects of tertiary structure.

		By inverting the two axes such that the alternate beam is retarded than circularly polarized light of the other direction is generated.
		The result of adding the right and left circularly polarized that passes through the optically active sample is elliptically polarized light, thus circular dichroism is equivalent to ellipticity.
		If the aromatic residue is held rigidly in space than its environment is asymmetric, and it will exhibit circular dichroism.In a “molten globule” the far-UV CD is retained while the near-UV CD is lost.

	Detection of magnetic circular dichroism using a transmission electron microscope : Nature
		In the case of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), the absorption cross-section of a ferromagnet or a paramagnet in a magnetic field changes when the helicity of a circularly polarized photon is reversed relative to the magnetization direction.
		Although similarities between X-ray absorption and electron energy-loss spectroscopy in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) have long been recognized, it has been assumed that extending such equivalence to circular dichroism would require the electron beam in the TEM to be spin-polarized.
		We compare our measurements of electron energy-loss magnetic chiral dichroism (EMCD) with XMCD spectra obtained from the same specimen that, together with theoretical calculations, show that chiral atomic transitions in a specimen are accessible with inelastic electron scattering under particular scattering conditions.
