This makes them promising platforms for spin-optoelectronics and quantum technologies<sup>2,3</sup>.<br>\r\nDesigning them rationally, however, requires understanding how chirality is transferred from the<br>\r\norganic cations to the inorganic framework, and how this transfer governs their chiroptical and spin<br>\r\nproperties<sup>4</sup>.<br>\r\nIn this seminar I will present a simulation framework that combines ab initio molecular dynamics, freeenergy<br>\r\nmethods and time-dependent density functional theory to predict circular dichroism (CD),<br>\r\ncircularly polarized luminescence (CPL), absorption and emission dissymmetry factors (gabs, glum) in<br>\r\nchiral perovskites. Applied to (R/S-MBA)2PbI4 and its tin analogue, this approach shows that<br>\r\nenantiomeric excess acts as a continuous dial for chiroptical properties<sup>5</sup>. The response follows a<br>\r\ncooperative majority-rule mechanism, which we validated against experiments across the full<br>\r\nenantiomeric series. Electronic-structure analysis links the two characteristic CD bands to distinct<br>\r\nband-edge and organic–inorganic transitions.<br>\r\nI will also discuss how chemical strain and hydrostatic pressure can tune the intensity and sign of CPL<br>\r\nemission<sup>6</sup>, and how structural chirality, spin-orbit coupling and lattice distortions may shape spin<br>\r\npolarization. Together, these results outline predictive design rules for chiral perovskites with tailored<br>\r\noptical and spin functionalities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n1.

Of particular interest is its interplay with magnetism, anticipated already by Pierre Curie in 1894, as well as the emergence and propagation of chirality through molecular organization. Here, we explore these connections at surfaces, from the interaction of individual chiral molecules with magnetic substrates and spin-polarized electrons to the collective organization of molecular chirality in extended two-dimensional structures. First, we demonstrate enantioselective adsorption of individual helicene molecules on ferromagnetic cobalt surfaces. Spin- and chirality-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy reveals that left- and right-handed helicenes preferentially adsorb on Co islands with opposite out-of-plane magnetization, establishing a direct correlation between molecular handedness and substrate magnetization. Second, tunneling-conductance measurements through individual enantiomers reveal magnetochiral asymmetries of up to 50%, demonstrating spin-selective electron transport at the single-molecule level and excluding ensemble effects as the sole origin of chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). Finally, we report the first observation of aperiodic chiral molecular tiling arising from topological self-assembly on a silver surface, demonstrating how molecular chirality can propagate from individual building blocks into complex collective organization.", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-10-01T19:17:53", "last_modification_date": "2026-10-02T08:39:11", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CH G1 495", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CH%20G1%20495", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Karl-Heinz Ernst (EMPA)", "organizer": "Sascha Feldmann", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "pcseminar", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122021/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences -

Yet ecological risk—pollution, fires, floods, heatwaves, droughts—is still presented as problems to be solved rather than conditions to be inhabited. This also speaks to an outsourcing of risk through externalized consequences of spatial injustice. Banks, developers, material supply chains, normative institutions, subcontracting hierarchies —all contend with calculated risk. This edition of <u>Pressure Points</u> asks us to unpack what it means to live with the risk, how it is managed, commodified, quantified, invented, politicized, instrumentalized, tamed, and to think, design, cohabitate intellectually and physically with it. The assembled guests should help us think and build literacy toward developing tools for living within uncertain territories and futures. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Sonia Seneviratne</u><br>\r\nMonday, October 26, 17:00 CET<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://usys.ethz.ch/en/people/profile.seneviratne.html\"><u>Sonia Seneviratne</u></a> is a Full Professor in Land-Climate Dynamics at ETH Zurich, with a focus on climate science and environmental physics. She conducts research on climate extremes such as droughts, land-climate processes, and human-induced climate change, based on climate modelling and data analyses. Listed among the Highly Cited Researchers of Web of Science (Clarivate) since 2014, she was a Coordinating Lead Author and Lead Author on several reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), including the Special Report on Extreme Events, the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C, and the Sixth Assessment Report in 2021. Seneviratne has received the Macelwane Medal of the American Geophysical Union in 2013 and the Hans-Oeschger Medal of the European Geosciences Union. Since July 2023, she serves as IPCC Working Group I Vice-Chair for the seventh assessment cycle (2023–2030). Her most recent contribution, published in June 2026, is the release of MESMER v1.0.0, an open-source climate model emulator she helped develop as part of her research group.
