The development of novel chiral molecules for organic spintronic applications

实现在室温下操纵载流子自旋态的先进材料将使节能技术和低功率量子计算设备成为可能。手性有机材料提供了一个无与伦比的机会，在室温下控制电子自旋，尽管手性诱导自旋选择性(CISS)。这个项目将设计、合成和研究新的分子，使我们能够测试支撑CISS效应的机制(S)，并确定影响自旋极化程度的关键参数。这些发现将为基于CIS的量子技术的制造提供信息，包括基于自旋的量子信息处理和量子磁场传感。

The realisation of advanced materials that manipulate the spin state of charge carriers at room temperature will enable energy efficient technologies and low power quantum computation devices. Chiral organic materials offer an unparalleled opportunity to control electron spin at room temperature, though the Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS). This project will design, synthesis and study novel molecules that will enable us to test the mechanism(s) that underpin the CISS effect and determine the key parameters that impact the extent of spin polarisation. These findings will inform the fabrication of CISS-based quantum technologies, including spin-based quantum information processing and quantum magnetic field sensing.
