Summary
Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) has over the recent years become an intense interdisciplinary research topic. The very strong enantioselective electron spin – chiral material interaction observed represents both an intriguing fundamental question and the promise of an extensive range of large-scale applications, ranging from spintronic devices like circularly polarized light emitting diodes and magneto-chiral optical memories, up to enantiomer separation and efficient electrolysis for hydrogen generation. However, so far, no satisfactory explanation for the strong CISS effects has been found, which holds back the realization of its enormous application potential. Another manifestation of the interaction between chirality and magnetism is magneto-chiral anisotropy (MChA), which has become a prominent representative of the wider class of non-reciprocal transport phenomena in broken-symmetry systems, that play an import role in topological quantum systems and in Berry phase physics.
