Title: Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity in Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskite Semiconductors

Journal Article · · Annual Review of Physical Chemistry

The movement of charges through a chiral medium results in a spin-polarized charge current. This phenomenon, known as the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, enables control over spin populations without the need for magnetic components and operates at room temperature. CISS has been discovered in a range of chiral media and most prominently studied in chiral organic molecular species. Chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite semiconductors combine the unique and functional aspects of inorganic semiconductors with chiral molecules. The inorganic component borrows the homochirality of the organic component to yield a unique family of highly tunable chiral semiconductors, where the enantiomeric purity is defined by the organic component. Semiconductors already form the backbone of modern-day technologies. Adding chirality and control over spin through CISS provides new avenues for creative technological development. This review is intended to be an introduction to these unique systems and the demonstrations of CISS and spin control.
