Abstract:
The exclusion zone (EZ) of water near the hydrophilic surface can exclude colloid suspension for a certain distance, which is typically several hundreds of micrometers, and approximates the size of the cells. Previous studies have shown that the near-surface the EZ expands extensively in the presence of incident radiant energy, especially the infrared light. Developments of electromagnetic biology and quantum biology indicate that the spin magnetic moment may have a direct impact on the biological process. In this article, a spintronic device, with a nickel-manganese ferrite rotator and spiral magnetic vector potential, was utilized to exert the influence on the EZ. Spin states in the nickel-manganese ferrite were polarized by two different chiral configurations, i.e., right-handed and left-handed, of the spiral magnetic vector potential, through the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect. The variation of the the EZ width clearly reflects the presence of different chiralities of the polarization and shows a directionality effect of rotation and irradiation. The spintronic device with a right-handed magnetic vector potential can enlarge the the EZ for 30-40%, while the one with the left-handed magnetic vector potential showed no potentiation but sometimes a depression effect. Therefore, a chiral symmetry-breaking phenomenon was observed, which shows that the formation of the EZ water may evolve certain quantum effects related to the chiral induced spin selectivity effect.
