Chiral-induced spin selective transmission (CISS) has predominantly been explored in structurally helical molecules on surfaces, where the spin selectivity only affects the spin polarization of the electrons along their direction of propagation. Here, we demonstrate[1] a spin-selective electron transmission for a point-chiral molecule 3-Methylcyclohexanone (3-MCHO) adsorbed on the chiral Cu(643) surface. Using spin- and momentum-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, we detect a spin-dependent electron transmission through a single layer of 3-MCHO molecules that depends on all three components of the electrons’ spin. The findings are attributed to the enantiomer-specific adsorption configuration on the surface. This opens the intriguing opportunity to selectively tune CISS by the enantiospecific molecule-surface interaction in all-chiral heterostructures.
