It is shown how a spin-polarization is induced in the chiral structure as a response to the charge dynamics. The dynamics indicate that chiral induced spin selectivity is an excited states phenomenon which, in the transient regime partly can be captured using a simplistic single particle description, however, in the stationary limit definitively shows that electron correlations, e.g., electron-vibration interactions, crucially contribute to sustain an intrinsic spin anisotropy that can lead to a non-vanishing spin selectivity. The dynamics, moreover, provide insight to enantiomer separation, due to different acquired spin-polarizations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-01-17T10:48:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chiral molecules", "spin dynamics", "enantioselectivity", "simplistic single particle description", "external metallic reservoir" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "ACS" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
