Abstract

Electron transmission through chiral molecules induced by circularly polarized light can be very different for mirror image structures. This behavior is described in terms of current transfer: the transfer of both charge and momentum. We review recent theoretical developments on the theory of current transfer and discuss related experimental studies of electron transmission through chiral molecular structures adsorbed on surfaces.

Au photoelectrons are spin polarized due to the high spin-orbit coupling of the metal. Therefore, an alternative mechanism for the transmission asymmetry obseved in [36] could be based on changes in the photoelectron spin angular momentum. We do not attribute the yield asymmetry to spin polarization because the stearoyl-lysine monolayers in [36] contain only low atomic number atoms that do not scatter spin.
