Abstract

In chemistry and biochemistry, chirality represents the structural asymmetry characterized by nonsuperimposable mirror images for a material such as DNA. In physics, however, chirality commonly refers to the spin–momentum locking of a particle or quasiparticle in the momentum space. While seemingly disconnected, structural chirality in molecules and crystals can drive electronic chirality through orbital–momentum locking; that is, chirality can be transferred from the atomic geometry to electronic orbitals. Electronic chirality provides an insightful understanding of chirality-induced spin selectivity, in which electrons exhibit salient spin polarization after going through a chiral material, and electrical magnetochiral anisotropy, which is characterized by diode-like transport. It further gives rise to new phenomena, such as anomalous circularly polarized light emission, in which the light handedness relies on the emission direction. These chirality-driven effects will generate broad impacts for fundamental science and technology applications in spintronics, optoelectronics, and biochemistry.

量子材料中的结构手性和电子手性
在化学和生物化学中,手性代表结构的不对称,其特征是 DNA 等材料的镜像不可叠加。而在物理学中,手性通常是指粒子或准粒子在动量空间中的自旋-动量锁定。分子和晶体中的结构手性看似互不关联,但却可以通过轨道动量锁定驱动电子手性;也就是说,手性可以从原子几何转移到电子轨道。电子手性为人们深入理解手性诱导的自旋选择性(电子通过手性材料后表现出显著的自旋极化)和电磁手性各向异性(其特点是二极管式传输)提供了可能。它还进一步产生了新的现象,如反常圆偏振光发射,其中光的手性取决于发射方向。这些手性驱动效应将对自旋电子学、光电子学和生物化学领域的基础科学和技术应用产生广泛影响。
