Simulation of Self-Assembled Monolayers of Polyalanine $\hat{I}\pm$-Helices: Development and Application of an Effective Potential for Film Structure Predictions

Hadis Ghodrati Saeini, Kevin Preis, Thi Ngoc Ha +4

Self-assembled monolayers of polyalanine $\hat{I}\pm$-helices exhibit distinct structural phases with implications for chiral-induced spin selectivity. We combine scanning tunneling micros…
