We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of electron transmission from a straight waveguide to a helix with spin-orbit coupling. Transmission is found to be spin-selective and can lead to large spin polarizations of the itinerant electrons. The degree of spin selectivity depends on the width of the interface region, and no polarization is found for single-point couplings. We show that this is due to momentum conservation conditions arising from extended interfaces. We therefore identify interface…

Anomalous Viscosity of a Racemate: A Simple Experiment Demonstrating Chirally Induced Spin Selectivity.
It has been known for over a century that racemic solutions of hydrogen-bonded compounds are less viscous than their component enantiomers, but this fact has so far remained unexplained. Here we…

TLDR
This work addresses chirality induced spin selectivity using a many-body approach, which allows for non-equilibrium conditions and a systematic treatment of the correlated state, and suggests the vital importance of including electron correlations when searching for explanations of the phenomenon.
Chirality-Dependent Electron Spin Filtering by Molecular Monolayers of Helicenes.
TLDR
The results support the semiclassical picture of electronic transport along a helical pathway under the influence of spin-orbit coupling induced by the electrostatic molecular potential.
Theory of Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity.
TLDR
It is proved that in a situation with one magnetic lead, the other lead will become magnetized and this results from the interplay between the spin-orbit coupling in the chiral molecule and the magnetized lead.
