Chiral phonons as dark matter detectors — •Carl Romao1, Riccardo Catena2, Nicola Spaldin1, and Marek Matas11Department of Materials, ETH Zurich, CH-8093 Zurich, Switzerland — 2Department of Physics, Chalmers University of Technology, SE-412 96 Goteborg, Sweden

We have proposed a method for detecting single chiral phonons using magnetometers. This would allow chiral phonons to be used as dark-matter detectors capable of exploring a multitude of unprobed dark-matter candidates. Metal*organic frameworks are potential candidate detector materials, as their flexibility yields low-energy chiral phonons with measurable magnetic moments, and their anisotropy leads to directional sensitivity, which mitigates background contamination. InF3(4,4'-bipyridine) has been identified as a candidate material; sensing of its phonon magnetic moments would extend detector reach by orders of magnitude below current limits.
