Theory of Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity

Abstract: A general theory of the chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is presented. It is based on the fact that the spin–orbit (SO) coupling is small, a few meV, for the light atoms, which make up typical chiral molecules in experiments. We present a theorem based on the Onsager reciprocal principle, which states that the CISS effect vanishes when thermally averaging over all electron states. This zero result is avoided by the very nonthermal character of the incoming optically generated electrons in experime… Show more

“…The CISS effect is a new, not completely understood phenomenon, allowing the creation of biomolecular and molecular scale analogs of spintronic devices. The CISS effect, firstly reported by Naaman in 1999, is based on the ability of chiral molecules to spin-polarize electrons passing through [ 179 , 180 ]. It is important to stress that CISS possesses variable strength depending on molecular chirality.…”

“…According to this fascinating theory, the separation of two enantiomers could be obtained as amplification of the initial asymmetry under the effect of some chemical compounds already present in the system (Stovbun et al, 2019). Furthermore, an additional effect could be represented by the spin polarization that was demonstrated to play an important role in the chiral biomolecular interactions (Kumar et al, 2017;Dalum and Hedegård, 2019;Naaman et al, 2019).…”

“…The coupling of electron orbital motion with its spin leads to spin-orbit interaction, which is of vital importance in spintronics [28], topological physics [29,30] and so on. Spin-orbit coupling is also responsible for the chiral induced spin selectivity in electron transport through molecules [31,32]. However, the effect of electron orbital motion on single molecule electro-luminescence is, to a large extent, unexplored.…”
