In the recently proposed phenomenon, nuclear spin-induced circular
dichroism (NSCD), collective magnetisation of nuclei induces circular
dichroism in a light beam passing through a molecular sample. Here
we present the first computational predictions of NSCD for fullerenes
C60 and C70. We show that the NSCD signal is nucleus-specific, like in
NMR spectroscopy. Thus, NSCD may provide a new and promising,
high-resolution observable for experimental identification of
chemical compounds.
