Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity in Capacitively Coupled Molecules

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelForskningfagfællebedømt

The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is usually associated with electrons passing through chiral molecules. There are a number of experiments where external electrical fields rearrange electrons inside otherwise isolated molecules, allegedly also generating spin polarization of the molecule. There are theoretical suggestions of pairs of molecules generating spin polarizations in each other due to fluctuating electrical dipoles. This paper critically theoretically evaluates such spin-dependent charge reorganization (SDCR) effects. We find that such effects are not ruled out in principle, but they are very small and probably not detectable.
