Extended No-Go Theorem and Its Verification in Spin-Selective Transport through Chiral Cyclodextrin Assemblies
Kai-Yuan Zhang, Shu-Zheng Zhou, Xi Sun +1
The classical two-terminal single-channel no-go theorem relies on time-reversal symmetry (TRS) and scattering-matrix unitarity. In open systems, omitted channels or environment lea…
What Is the Real-Time Atomistic Mechanism Behind Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity in Donor-Chiral Bridge-Acceptor Molecules?
Shu-Zheng Zhou, Xi Sun, Kai-Yuan Zhang +1
Chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) has been experimentally observed in photo-excited donor-chiral bridge-acceptor (D-Bχ-A) molecules [Science 382, 197-201 (2023)]. However, the…
Geometric Spin-Orbit Coupling Resolves the Contradictory CISS Effect in Chiral Single Molecules
Shu-Zheng Zhou, Xi Sun, Kai-Yuan Zhang +1
Some studies have reported clear chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect in four classes of chiral single molecules with remarkable spin polarization. In contrast, a recen…
Synergy and Competition of Dual Chirality in the Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity of Supramolecular Helices
Song Chen, Kai-Yuan Zhang, Xi Sun +2
Recent progress in constructing supramolecular assemblies with hierarchical chirality offers new opportunities to investigate the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect a…
Knot-Driven Spin Selectivity: Topological Chirality-Induced Robust Spin Polarization in Molecular Knots
Xi Sun, Kai-Yuan Zhang, Shu-Zheng Zhou +1
Compared to traditional structural chiral materials (e.g., DNA, helicene), topological chirality in trefoil knot molecules has demonstrated multiple remarkable advantages in chiral…
