Abstract

The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect was recently established experimentally and theoretically. Here, we review some of the new findings and discuss applications that can result from special properties of this effect, like the reduction of the elastic backscattering in electron transfer through chiral molecules. The CISS effect opens the possibility of using chiral molecules in spintronics applications and for providing a deeper understanding of spin-selective processes in biology.
