Theory of Chirality Induced Spin Selectivity: Progress and Challenges
Abstract
We provide a critical overview of the theory of the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, i.e., phenomena in which the chirality of molecular species imparts significant spin selectivity to various electron processes. Based on discussions in a recently held workshop, and further work published since, we review the status of CISS effects - in electron transmission, electron transport, and chemical reactions. For each, we provide a detailed discussion of the state-of-the-art in theoretical understanding and identify remaining challenges and research opportunities.
