The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect refers to the spin-selective electron transmission via chiral molecules. So far, CISS has been studied for helical molecules on noble metal surfaces. Here, we focus on CISS in molecules grown on a chiral Cu surface. Using spin- and momentum-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, we show that the spin-dependent electron transmission through a point-chiral molecule on the chiral Cu(643) surface depends on all three components of the electron's spin [1]. Swapping the enantiomers alters the electrons' spin component parallel to the terraces of the chiral surface. This emphasizes the role of enantiomer-specific adsorption configurations on chiral surfaces. To understand the role of substrate chirality in CISS, we focus on the effect of a surface's chirality on the electronic properties of the adsorbed molecules. We use the highly symmetric pentacene on the Cu(643) surface as an example. Our momentum-resolved photoemission data show adsorption-induced changes in the orbital emission pattern that can be attributed to the chiral nature of the Cu surface. [1] J. Phys. Chem.
