Factors influencing the chiral imprinting in perovskite nanoparticles

Chiral perovskites have emerged as a new class of nanomaterials for manipulation and control of spin polarized current and circularly polarized light for applications in spintronics, chiro-optoelectronics, and chiral photonics. While significant effort has been made in discovering and optimizing strategies to synthesize different forms of chiral perovskites, the mechanism through which chirality is imbued onto the perovskites by chiral surface ligands remains unclear. In this minireview, we provide a detailed discussion of one of the proposed mechanisms, electronic imprinting from a chiral ligand.
