| contents | Chirality-induced orbital-angular-momentum selectivity (CIOAMS) in electron transmission and scattering processes is investigated. Polarization of the OAM of an electron traversing chiral media is first studied via electronic wavepacket propagation using the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Next, spatial resolution of wavepackets carrying opposite OAM, following scattering from a corrugated surface is demonstrated. This suggests that OAM may play a significant role in the mechanisms underlying chirality induced spin selectivity, measured for electrons crossing chiral media in setups involving Mott polarimetry. Our results highlight the potential to exploit CIOAMS in innovative emerging quantum technologies. |
