Abstract
In this Letter, we show that chiral molecules subject to a magnetic field in isotropic radiation fields acquire a linear momentum along the field. We also show the existence of the inverse effect, where a chiral molecule moving in an isotropic radiation field acquires a magnetic moment along its velocity.
