| Abstract | Nontechnical Summary Chirality is a geometric property of a material that lacks mirror image symmetry. For example, the left hand cannot be transformed into its mirror image, the right hand, by any combination of rotation and translation. This project investigates how structural chirality at the molecular level can be harnessed to control the quantum property of electrons known as spin, without relying on the movement of electrical charge. Spin-based electronics, or spintronics, offers compellin |
