The Electron Spin and Chiral Systems – Merging that Results in Novel Properties

Abstract
Spin based properties, applications, and devices are commonly related to magnetic effects and to magnetic materials. However, we found that chiral molecules act as spin filters for photoelectrons transmission, in electron transfer, and in electron transport.
The new effect, termed Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS),[1],[2] was found, among others, in bio-molecules and in bio-systems. It has interesting implications for the production of new types of spintronics devices[3],[4] in controlling magnetization,[5] and on electron transfer and conduction. Recently we found that charge polarization in chiral molecules is accompanied by spin polarization. This finding shed new light on spin dependent interaction between chiral molecules and between them and magnetic surfaces.[6]
