1. A chirality detector for detecting chirality of chiral material, comprising: a first electrode and a second electrode that are configured to apply a voltage to a subject containing the chiral material; a spin detection layer configured to be in contact with the subject; a power supply; and a control section, wherein
the power supply and the control section are configured to generate an electric field in the subject by applying the voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode; and
the control section is configured to detect a voltage generated in the spin detection layer in a direction that goes across a direction of the electric field or a voltage generated between the spin detection layer and the subject, and also is configured to detect chirality of the chiral material on the basis of the detected voltage.
