Abstract
The electronic spin filtering capability of a single chiral helical peptide is measured. A ferromagnetic electrode source is employed to inject spin-polarized electrons in an asymmetric single-molecule junction bridging an α-helical peptide sequence of known chirality. The conductance comparison between both isomers allows the direct determination of the polarization power of an individual chiral molecule.Keywords: alpha-helical peptides; chiral transport; single-molecule wires; spin-polarization power; spin-polarized transmission
