Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) refers to the fact that electrons get spin polarized after passing through organic chiral molecules in a nanoscale device. In CISS, chiral molecules are commonly believed to be a spin filter through…

To sum up, we show in the present paper that magnetic response in Nb$_2$O$_2$F$_3$ at the high-temperatures ($T>$90 K) is related to the orbital selective regime, when part of the electrons form molecular orbitals while other electrons have…
To gain insight into the mechanism of charge-ordering transitions, which conventionally are pictured as a disproportionation of an ion M as 2M$^{n+}$ $\rightarrow$ M$^{(n+1)+}$ + M$^{(n-1)+}$, we (1) review and reconsider the charge state…
We provide a critical overview of the theory of the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, i.e., phenomena in which the chirality of molecular species imparts significant spin selectivity to various electron processes. Based on…

In equilibrium liquid crystals, chirality leads to a variety of spectacular three-dimensional structures, but chiral and achiral phases with the same broken continuous symmetries have identical long-time, large-scale dynamics. In this…
We present evidence that the insulator to metal transition in (La,Ca)MnO3 near x~0.2 is driven by the suppression of coherent Jahn-Teller distortions, originating from d type orbital ordering. The orbital ordered state is characterised by…

Chirality or the handedness of objects is of prime importance in life science, biology, chemistry and physics. It is also a major symmetry ingredient in frustrated magnets revealing spin-spiral ground states. Vector chiral phases, with the…
We performed resonant and nonresonant x-ray diffraction studies of a Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 thin film that exhibits a clear first-order transition. Lattice parameters vary drastically at the metal-insulator transition at 170K (=T_MI), and…
Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Ti$_5$O$_9$ have been studied by \textit{ab initio} methods in low-, intermediate- and high-temperature phases. We have found the charge and orbital order in all three phases to be…
Crystalline order in dense packings of long polymers with a definite handedness is difficult to reconcile with the tendency of these chiral objects to twist and braid about each other. If the chirality is weak, the state of lowest energy is…
Chirality induced spin selectivity, discovered about two decades ago in helical molecules, is a non-equilibrium effect that emerges from the interplay between geometrical helicity and spin-orbit interactions. Several model Hamiltonians…
How chirality propagates across scales remains an open question in many biological and synthetic systems. An especially clear manifestation of this propagation is found in in vitro gliding assays of cytoskeletal filaments on surfaces,…
In many materials, ordered phases and their order parameters are easily characterized by standard experimental methods. "Hidden order" refers to a phase transition in which an ordered state emerges without such an easily detectable order…
