Article Abstract
Chiral halide perovskite (c-HP) semiconductors exhibit on average a large chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. Nevertheless, the microscopic details of CISS and its integration in opto-spintronic constructs remain nascent. Reliable reporting of CISS performance characteristics represents a significant challenge in providing the necessary design rules. We show a Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) method that can quantitatively evaluate and spatially map the chirality-dependent surface contact potential difference resulting from the formation of a spin-Schottky junction. We revealed inhomogeneity in the CISS response, where low-CISS regions in the c-HP films reduce the overall macroscopic average, likely serving as a key factor in optimizing macroscopic performance. We also observed that although c-HP films made from higher precursor concentrations lead to thicker films and higher carrier concentrations with subsequent larger barrier heights in the Schottky junction, stronger spin relaxation due to non-ideal film quality reduces spin polarization.

Amongst these molecules, helicene units have recently been shown to exhibit such a chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. Thus, helical nanographenes (NGs), whose core building block is a helicene unit, are natural candidates for generating CISS.

Manipulating the electron spin state through the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect provides a novel strategy for enhancing the activity and selectivity of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, developing a quantitative relationship between the CISS effect and the chirality-enhanced OER performance is difficult due to complex influencing factors. Herein, using a ligand exchange strategy, we developed a monolayer chiral covalent organic framework (mc-COF) model catalytic system with adjustable spin polarization (P = ∼49-72%), which allows the decoupling of the CISS effect from other influencing factors on the OER performance.

Using a model of the double-stranded DNA junction, we employ a nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach to theoretically study the chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect both outside and inside the molecular cavity. We demonstrate that outside the cavity, spin polarization is sensitive to gate voltage, and we explain this sensitivity through the alternating character of DNA molecular orbitals. Inside the cavity, we show a 6 to 8 times increase in spin polarization and argue that this enhancement arises from the non-uniform distribution of escape rates among molecular orbitals, resulting in better and worse conducting channels.

Protein aggregation into amyloid fibrils is central to numerous diseases, yet the role of electron spin interactions during nucleation and self-assembly remains unexplored. We investigated amyloid formation of A-β(1-42) polypeptide, implicated in Alzheimer's disease, and its smaller recognition motifs on ferromagnetic substrates. We observed a strong dependence of fibril formation dynamics on the substrate's magnetization orientation using electron and fluorescence microscopy.
