a Schematic of simulating thermal occupation. Blue and red regions show the occupation distribution at t = 0 and t = t0 which is introduced to simulate the thermal impact of the laser. b Relative angle (δθ), chirality (∣χ∣) and chiral deviation (χdev) for a specific configuration. The shaded green region shows the root mean square deviation of δθ. The excitation takes place at 0.1ps. c End configuration of the evolution at 8 ps.
