Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy which utilizes the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized light to distinguish between the enantiomers of a chiral molecule. Previously it has been shown that the method is able to predict the strength of the chirality induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect [1]. Although many studies show that CISS relies on the interface between a chiral molecule and a magnetic substrate, CD spectroscopy is mainly used for the analysis of molecules in solution [1]. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a method for the interpretation of CD exhibited by molecular thin films.
In this study we present a homebuilt setup to implement the analysis of thin films systems into the Jasco J-1500 CD spectrophotometer. Furthermore, we propose a way to overcome artefacts that may be caused by optical anisotropy of the film and the substrate [2].
