Abstract
Control of spin-current absorption in non-magnetic materials is central to realizing spin-current switches and low-power spintronic technologies, yet anisotropic responses have so far been limited to a narrow class of crystalline materials. Here we demonstrate giant chirality-induced anisotropic spin-current absorption (CASA) in solution-processed chiral hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors (HOISs), establishing them as a versatile platform for symmetry-selective spin manipulation. Zero-dimensional [R/S/rac-MBA]4Bi2Cl10 (MBA = α-methylbenzylammonium) HOISs exhibit more than an order-of-magnitude variation in spin absorption between orthogonal spin polarizations. Strikingly, despite the lack of chiroptical activity, racemic films exhibit a similarly strong spin anisotropy, indicating that global crystallographic chirality is not a prerequisite for CASA. Structural chirality analysis reveals that the CASA is governed by the orientation of local chiral axes associated with the organic cations in HOISs. These results establish molecular chirality as an active design parameter for manipulating spin transport, positioning HOISs as a broadly compelling platform for spin-based functionalities.
Organic–inorganic hybrid semiconductors exhibit a rich interplay between their organic and inorganic sublattices, enabling precise control over electronic structure, optical anisotropy, and spin-dependent properties. A central theme in our work is the deliberate manipulation of structural symmetry and heterogeneity thr...

Magnetism induced by the proximity effects of chiral molecules is a physical phenomenon that can be demonstrated with molecular layers as thin as 1 nm deposited on thin films of conventional ferromagnets. Although the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect has been widely explored in the context of spintronic applicati...

Chiral materials, integrating structural breaking of mirror-symmetry, exhibit physical properties that cannot be observed in centrosymmetric analogues. Among these properties, optical magneto-chiral anisotropy, the nonreciprocal absorption of light shown by chiral magnetized systems, is emerging as an enabling technolo...

Altermagnetism, characterized by momentum-dependent spin-splitting without net magnetization, attracts considerable attention due to its unique symmetry-governed electronic structures and potential applications in spintronic devices. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we identify Cr2WS4 monolayer as a two-di...

Two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (2D HOIPs) have emerged as a promising class of semiconductors for next-generation spin-optoelectronic applications, owing to their structural tunability and rich spin-dependent optoelectronic properties. Their layered organic-inorganic architectures also offer oppor...
Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) refers to structural chirality governing spin transport in chiral systems, with experimental signatures reported in both transport experiments and photoemission. Beyond influencing transport, recent experiments indicate that adsorbed chiral molecules can influence the magnetic...
