| Popis: | Theoretical studies on spin-dependent transport through helical molecules with straight spiral geometry have received intense research interest in the past decade, however, the physics in circular helical molecules has still less been explored. In this work, we theoretically construct a circular single helix (CSH) possessing the chirality-induced spin-orbit coupling and contacting with two non-magnetic electrodes. Our theoretical calculations demonstrate that the spin-related transport in CSH exhibits the so-called chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect and more importantly, the CISS-reduced spin-dependent destructive quantum interference (DQI) also occurs in the CSH, without any external magnetic field or magnetic electrodes. Moreover, the changing of CSH length or the electrode positions exhibits specific patterns in the spin-polarized conductance. Particularly, the dephasing magnitude can adjust effectively these two spin-dependent effects to realize their coexistence. Additionally, the phase transition between the CISS-dependent constructive quantum interference (CQI) and DQI is also observed in the CSH. Our theoretical work puts forwards a new material plateau to explore the CISS and to exhibit the novel CISS-dependent CQI effect. Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, 1 table |
