Abstract
The circular dichroism of a surface layer containing K (potassium) Rydberg species andKN Rydberg matter clusters is studied. The scattering that is apparently shifted in wavelengthfrom the laser line is due to a phase-delay Rabi-flopping process, caused by the Rydbergspecies in the surface layer (Holmlid 2004 J. Phys. Chem. A 108 11285). With circularpolarized light, a strong right–left polarized intensity asymmetry is observed in theRabi-flopping scattered light, which indicates a chiral scatterer in the Rydberg surfacelayer. We conclude that the chiral entities are the circular Rydberg electrons with theirlarge magnetic momenta.
