The Electron's Spin and Chirality - a Miraculous Match — •Ron Naaman — Dep. of Chemical and Biological Physics, Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, Israel

Spin based properties, applications, and devices are commonly related to magnetic effects and to magnetic materials. However, we established that chiral material could act as spin filters for photoelectrons transmission, in electron transfer, and in electron transport. The effect, termed Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS), has interesting implications in wide range of fields like spintronics, spin controlled chemistry, long range electron transfer, enantio-recognition, and enantio-separation. The basic effect, and its applications and implications, will be presented.
