PHYS Seminar: “Electron Spin, Chiral Symmetry Breaking, and Life’s Homochirality”, Furkan Öztürk, 2:30PM September 26 2025

Furkan Öztürk California Institute of Technology Electron Spin, Chiral Symmetry Breaking, and Life’s Homochirality Abstract Electron spin couples strongly to molecular chirality through the recently discovered phenomenon of chiral-induced spin selectivity. As such, spin-polarized magnetic surfaces can function as robust chiral reagents and facilitate asymmetric processes. I will discuss recent […]
