SPICE Workshop on Chiral Phonons, July 29th - 31st 2025
Yossi Paltiel
Spin-selective chiral interactions have gained increasing attention in recent years due to the Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) effect, which has been observed across a variety of fields including chemistry, physics, and biology. Nuclear spin has only recently been considered in the context of chiral spin-selective interactions. Its potential relevance—through contributions to total angular momentum, chiral phonons and hyperfine coupling—remains largely unexplored and poorly understood. My talk will address the role of nuclear spin in chiral systems, spanning from static microparticles to living cells and to transport of protons in chiral crystals.
