Spin+Chirality: Controlling interfacial spin functionalities with chiral molecules
(B14)
Subject Area
Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
Term
since 2022
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 268565370
Project B14 aims to explore spin functionalities in chiral molecules on surfaces by the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. We exploit adsorption-induced modifications in chiral molecule-magnetic thin film hybrid structures to tune the spin order and spin transport of magnetic thin films. Complementarily, we focus on the tunability of chiral-induced spin functionalities in non-magnetic molecule-metal heterostructures. Combining multidimensional photoemission spectroscopy with magneto-transport will allow us to gain a comprehensive understanding of chiral induced interfacial spin functionalities and the potential of chirality for novel spintronic applications.
