Abstract
- The elucidation of the mechanisms behind chiral-induced spin selectivity remains an outstanding scientific challenge. Here we consider the role of delocalised phonon modes in electron transport in chiral structures and demonstrate that spin selectivity can originate from spin-dependent energy and momentum conservation in electron-phonon scattering events. While this mechanism is robust to the specifical nature of the vibrational modes, the degree of spin polarization depends on environmental factors, such as external driving fields, temperatures and phonon relaxation rates. This dependence is used to present experimentally testable predictions of our model.
