Dynamic Breaking of Mirror Symmetry in Spin-Dependent Electron Transport through Chiral Media Causes Enantiomeric Excesses
Yossi Paltiel, Daniel Goldberg, Nir Yuran +9
Two fundamental questions have puzzled scientists for more than 150 years. How did life become homochiral and why was this specific handedness selected. Recently, it has been shown…
Xenon Anesthesia and Nuclear Spin Effects in Chiral Systems
Allan Wang, S. Furkan Ozturk
A general mechanism for anesthetic function is not fully understood. Similarly, the mechanism by which xenon, a chemically inert noble gas, can produce anesthetic effects remains a…
Prebiotic magnetite enables chirality-magnetic surface feedback
Jose A. P. M. Devienne, Ziwei Liu, Clancy Z. Jiang +5
The emergence of biomolecular homochirality requires both an initial symmetry-breaking event and a mechanism to amplify and preserve a chiral imbalance. Magnetic minerals have been…
Temperature-Enhanced Coercive Field by Chiral Molecules
Yael Kapon, Lilach Brann, Shira Yochelis +4
The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect demonstrates a strong coupling between electron spin and molecular chirality, enabling spin-controlled interactions between chiral…
Chiral Phonons Enhance Ferromagnetism
Jonas Fransson, Yael Kapon, Lilach Brann +4
Recent experiments suggest that the conditions for ferromagnetic order in, e.g., magnetite, can be modified by adsorption of chiral molecules. Especially, the coercivity of magneti…
