Spin based properties, applications, and devices are commonly related to magnetic effects and to magnetic materials. However, we found that chiral organic molecules can act as spin filters for photoelectrons transmission, [i] in electron transfer, [ii] and in electron transport. [iii]
The new effect, termed Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS), [iv] enables new type of spintronics, [v] has interesting implications in Biology, [vi] varying from allowing long-range electron transfer, controlling multiple electrons reactions, and in enantio-recognition.
The effect and its various applications and implications will be discussed.
