Direct Detection of Circularly Polarized Light Using Chiral Copper Chloride-Carbon Nanotube Heterostructures.

ABSTRACT: The emergent properties of chiral organic-inorganic hybrid materials offer opportunities in spin-dependent optoelectronic devices. One of the most promising applications where spin, charge, and light are strongly coupled is circularly polarized light (CPL) detection. However, the performance of state-of-the-art CPL detectors using chiral hybrid metal halide semiconductors is still limited by the low anisotropy factor, poor conductivity, and limited photoresponsivity. Here, we synthesize 0D chiral copper chloride hybrids, templated by chiral methylbenzylammonium (R/S-MBA), i.e., (R-/S-MBA)₂CuCl₄, that display circular dichroism for the ligand-to-metal charge transfer transition with an absorption anisotropy factor (g_CD
