Spin based properties, applications, and devices are commonly related to magnetic effects and to magnetic materials. However, we established that chiral organic molecules can act as spin filter for photoelectrons transmission, in electron transfer, and in electron transport. The new effect termed Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) has interesting implications on the production of new type of spintronics devices and on electron transfer in biological systems.
Results from several recent experiments, demonstrating the CISS effect, will be presented as well as devices based upon.
