Last two decades, chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) has been attracting attentions in spintronics. CISS generates a finite spin polarized state when electrons travel through high resistive chiral molecules. Meanwhile, in low resistive chiral crystals it has been found a rectification effect called electrical magneto chiral anisotropy (eMChA), which seems to share certain feature with CISS, but shows also some non-trivial experimental differences. Interestingly the two effects which relates spin related phenomena to the symmetry of chiral materials cannot be explained by a unified and accepted model. For this reason, the use of highly conductive molecules can be a key to unveil the underlying physics.In this work, highly conductive helical poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (H-PEDOT) synthesized on a silicon on insulator substrate is selected. Magnetoresistances of the right- and left-handed PEDOT are measured by rotating angle of an in-plane external magnetic field.
