First evidence of CISS on isolated molecules in a joint work with Northwestern University
The combination of time-resolved electronic paramagnetic resonance measurements with an accurate theoretical model made it possible to highlight peculiar a signature of CISS in chiral molecules, completely absent in the achiral analogue. The work is part of the ERC-Synergy CASTLE project, whose principal investigators are Stefano Carretta (University of Parma), Michael Wasielewski (Northwestern University), Roberta Sessoli (University of Florence) and Robert Bittl (Freie Universitat di Berlin) .
This first observation of CISS on isolated molecules (not bound to any substrate) paves the way for its use in the realization of quantum computers. As recently proposed within the same project, the phenomenon would in fact allow the state of individual spins to be read-out and written at high temperature, one of the most important challenges for the realization of these devices.
