Abstract
Chiral semiconductors have been recently suggested as the basic building blocks for the design of chiral optoelectronic and electronic devices for chiral emission and spintronics. Herein, we report that through the formation of a chiral/achiral heterostructure, one can develop a chiral system that integrates the merits of both chiral and achiral components for developing a demanded chiral emitter. In the R-(+)-(or S-(−)-)1-(1-naphthyl)-ethylammonium lead bromide/CsPbBr3 heterostructure, we show that the photoluminescence of CsPbBr3 carries a degree of circular polarization of around 1% at room temperature. It is explained that such chiral emission is enabled through the chiral self-trapped exitonic absorption of R-(+)- (or S-(−)-)1-(1-naphthyl)-ethylammonium lead bromide. This work may provide an alternative way to generate bright circularly polarized light from achiral materials, which has potential applications in spintronics, biosensing, and signal encryption.
