Abstract
We present a microscopic theory of apparent circular dichroism in chiral thin films, cast explicitly in terms of molecular property tensors. Our theory provides a general foundation for ab initio calculations and reveals that the films should exhibit an interesting magnetochiral apparent circular dichroism and other novel effects when subjected to a static magnetic field.
