Transfer of chirality, or transmission asymmetric information from one system to another, plays an essential role in fundamental biological and chemical processes and, therefore, is for life. This phenomenon also holds immense potential spintronics the context chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). In CISS, spatial arrangement chiral molecules influences state electrons during charge-transfer processes. chirality achiral material a hybrid environment enables induction polarization material, thus vastly expanding library CISS-active electronic materials. Such "induced" CISS signals could have different responses compared pure because properties come into play former case. addition, multiple sources can be used, which nontrivial contribution induced effect act either synergistically antagonistically. opens way achieving tunability via means. Earlier, such chirality-transfer resulting were demonstrated containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) functionalized with agent (Fmoc-diphenylalanine l/d). this context, we extend result by investigating additional moiety (l-lysozyme enzyme crystals) system. Here, crystal surrounds chiral-functionalized CNTs, show that synergistic interactions more efficient transfer, changes effect. manifests form (a) stronger signal only single agent, (b) nonmonotonic temperature dependence sign reversal signal, (c) persistence at higher temperatures. Hybrid materials could, offer intricate control modification its constituents, not possible homogeneous systems sources.
