Experimental demonstration of the microscopic origin of circular dichroism in two-dimensional metamaterials

The effect of Ohmic dissipation in two-dimensional chiral materials has never been experimentally verified. Here, Khanikaev et al. demonstrate that the circular dichroism in a nanostructured metasurface occurs due to handedness-dependent Ohmic heating.
