Abstract

In a model presented in Yang et al. [Phys. Rev. B 99, 024418 (2019)] it was stated that in the linear regime spin selectivity cannot be measured when using two contacts configuration, and that the results observed when studying the chiral-induced spin-selectivity effect are not consistent with this statement. Here we claim that the results cited clearly indicate nonlinearity and therefore the spin selectivity observed is valid observation.
