Abstract

Chiral inorganic semiconductors with high dissymmetric factor are highly desirable, but it is generally difficult to induce chiral structure in inorganic semiconductors because of their structure rigidity and symmetry. In this study, we introduced chiral ZnO film as hard template to transfer chirality to CsPbBr₃ film and PbS quantum dots (QDs) for circularly polarized light (CPL) emission and detection, respectively. The prepared CsPbBr₃/ZnO thin film exhibited CPL emission at 520 nm and the PbS QDs/ZnO film realized CPL detection at 780 nm, featuring high dissymmetric factor up to around 0.4. The electron transition based mechanism is responsible for chirality transfer.
