We study spin polarization induced by locally injected electric currents in a metal whose spin--orbit coupling reflects its structural chirality. We reveal both spin polarization in the bulk in the linear response and antiparallel spin…

It is theoretically well established that a spin-dependent electron transmission generally appears in chiral systems, even without magnetic components, as long as a strong spin-orbit coupling is present in some of its elements. However, how…

Spin polarization in chiral molecules is a magnetic molecular response associated with electron transport and enantioselective bond polarization that occurs even in the absence of an external magnetic field. An unexpected finding by Santos…

It has been long recognized that the spatial polarization of the electronic clouds in molecules, and the spatial arrangements of atoms into chiral molecular structures, play crucial roles in physics, chemistry and biology. However, these…

Parity-odd transport is a central signature of chiral fluids, yet analytical predictions are sparse. Here, we introduce a minimal two-dimensional hard-disk gas in which chirality arises solely from a collision-induced transverse impulse.…
