Electrochirogenesis: The Possible Role of Low-Energy Spin-Polarized Electrons in Creating Homochirality
Electrochirogenesis deals with the induction of chirality by polarized electrons of which those with low energy (<15 eV) are seen to be the most effective. Possible sources of such electrons in the prebiotic universe are discussed and several examples where chiral induction by these electrons...
