CD spectra from the chiral molecule/nanostructure coupled system with various values of chiral parameter κ. (a–c) Schematics of the coupled system, non-MSM and MSM. FEM-calculated CD spectra with purely imaginary-valued κ obtained using (d) MSM and (e) non-MSM. CD spectra with pure-real κ using (f) MSM and (g) non-MSM. The dotted blue curve in (d) is a CD spectrum with κ = 0, corresponding to CDmesh. In the calculations, the thickness of the chiral medium, t, is set at 5 nm.
