Light-Controlled Spin Filtering in Bacteriorhodopsin
The role of the electron spin in chemistry and biology has received much attention recently owing to to the possible electromagnetic field effects on living organisms and the prospect of using molecules in the emerging field of spintronics. Recently the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect was observed by electron transmission through organic molecules. In the present study, we demonstrated t...
متن کاملSpin-dependent electron transmission through bacteriorhodopsin embedded in purple membrane.
Spin-dependent photoelectron transmission and spin-dependent electrochemical studies were conducted on purple membrane containing bacteriorhodopsin (bR) deposited on gold, aluminum/aluminum-oxide, and nickel substrates. The result indicates spin selectivity in electron transmission through the membrane. Although the chiral bR occupies only about 10% of the volume of the membrane, the spin polar...
متن کاملSpin Filtering in Storage Rings
The spin filtering in storage rings is based on a multiple passage of a stored beam through a polarized internal gas target. Apart from the polarization by the spindependent transmission, a unique geometrical feature of interaction with the target in such a filtering process, pointed out by H.O. Meyer 1, is a scattering of stored particles within the beam. A rotation of the spin in the scatteri...
متن کاملBacteriorhodopsin induces a light-scattering change in Halobacterium halobium
When suspensions of Halobacterium halobium are exposed to bright light, the light-scattering properties of the bacteria change. This light-scattering response can produce a transmission decrease of about 1% throughout the red and near-infrared region. The action spectrum for the light-scattering response appropriately matches the absorption spectrum of bacteriorhodopsin. The response is elimina...
متن کاملPhotospintronics: Magnetic Field-Controlled Photoemission and Light-Controlled Spin Transport in Hybrid Chiral Oligopeptide-Nanoparticle Structures
The combination of photonics and spintronics opens new ways to transfer and process information. It is shown here that in systems in which organic molecules and semiconductor nanoparticles are combined, matching these technologies results in interesting new phenomena. We report on light induced and spin-dependent charge transfer process through helical oligopeptide-CdSe nanoparticles' (NPs) arc...
