Chiral selectivity vs. noise in spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking
Résumé
Imperfect bifurcation (blue curves) due to chiral bias g > 0 with chiral noise ξ induced by temperature fluctuations. Axis α = ([L] − [D])/2; λ is a nonequilibrium constraint on the system (a flow rate). Chiral selectivity holds when g > ξ .
