AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers are developing colorful circularly polarized luminescence materials for applications in 3D displays, information security, and asymmetric synthesis, which benefit from single-emitted materials due to their efficiency in avoiding self-absorption and providing consistent photon emission across the visible spectrum.
  • The creation of high-performing single-emitted full-color circularly polarized luminescence is still in the early stages, largely due to challenges in synthesizing chiral broad-luminescent emitters.
  • The study introduces a novel system that combines quantum dots and chiral liquid crystals, achieving high luminescence dissymmetry and customizable colors, which can be utilized in advanced applications such as photoinduced enantioselective polymerization.

Article Abstract

Colorful circularly polarized luminescence materials are desired for 3D displays, information security and asymmetric synthesis, in which single-emitted materials are ideal owing to self-absorption avoidance, evenly entire-visible-spectrum-covered photon emission and facile device fabrication. However, restricted by the synthesis of chiral broad-luminescent emitters, the realization and application of high-performing single-emitted full-color circularly polarized luminescence is in its infancy. Here, we disclose a single-emitted full-color circularly polarized luminescence system (spiral full-color emission generator), composed of whole-vis-spectrum emissive quantum dots and chiral liquid crystals. The system achieves a maximum luminescence dissymmetry factor of 0.8 and remains an order of 10 in visible region by tuning its photonic bandgap. We then expand it to a series of desired customized-color circularly polarized luminescence, build chiral devices and further demonstrate the working scenario in the photoinduced enantioselective polymerization. This work contributes to the design and synthesis of efficient chiroptical materials, device fabrication and photoinduced asymmetric synthesis.

Resolving Artifacts and Improving the Detection Limit in Circular Differential Scattering Measurement of Chiral and Achiral Gold Nanorods.

ACS Nano

Circular differential scattering (CDS) spectroscopy has been developed as a powerful method for the characterization of the optical activity of individual plasmonic nanostructures and their complexes with chiral molecules. However, standard measurement setups often result in artifacts that have long raised concerns on the interpretation of spectral data. In fact, the detection limit of CDS setups is constrained by the high level of artifacts, to ±10%.

We have found that surface superstructures made of "monolayer alloys" of Tl and Pb on Si(111), having giant Rashba effect, produce nonreciprocal spin-polarized photocurrent via circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) by obliquely shining circularly polarized near-infrared (IR) light. CPGE is here caused by the injection of in-plane spin into spin-split surface-state bands, which is observed only on Tl-Pb alloy layers but not on single-element Tl nor Pb layers. In the Tl-Pb monolayer alloys, despite their monatomic thickness, the magnitude of CPGE is comparable to or even larger than the cases of many other spin-split thin-film materials.

Herein, we report the influence of solvent on the self-assembly of a dinuclear helicate, (NMe)[Eu(LR)]. A multiple species mixture with the chemical composition of [Eu(LR)] present in CHCN can be transformed into a helicate upon increasing the content of CHCl, accompanied by a significant enhancement in circularly polarized luminescence activity.

Chirality, a basic property of symmetry breaking, is crucial for fields such as biology and physics. Recent advances in the study of chiral systems have stimulated interest in the discovery of symmetry-breaking states that enable exotic phenomena such as spontaneous gyrotropic order and superconductivity. Here we examine the interaction between light chirality and electron spins in indium selenide and study the effect of magnetic field on emerging tunnelling photocurrents at the Van Hove singularity.
