Charge Redistribution and Spin Polarization Driven by Correlation Induced Electron Exchange in Chiral Molecules

Chiral induced spin selectivity is a phenomenon that has been attributed to chirality, spin-orbit interactions, and non-equilibrium conditions, while the role of electron exchange correlations have investigated only marginally until very recently. However, as recent experiments show chiral molecules acquire finite spin-polarization merely by being in contact with metallic surface, these results suggest play more crucial for emergence than previously thought. Here, it demonstrated molecular vibrations give rise charge redistribution accompanied when coupling molecule non-magnetic metal. It is, moreover, shown enantiomer separation, due intimately related can be understood terms proposed model.
