Abstract:
Chiral lead halide perovskites (chiral LHPs) have emerged as one of the best candidates for opto-spintronics due to their large spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and unique chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) even in the absence of a magnetic field. Here, we report the impact of halide composition on circular dichroism (CD) and magneto-photoluminescence (PL) effects of chiral 2D LHPs (R/S-MBA)2PbBrI4- (MBA = C6H5CH2(CH3)NH3). By tuning the mixing ratio of Br/I halide anions, we find that (R/S-MBA)2PbBrI4- thin films exhibit tunable and wide wavelength range CD signals. Simultaneously, the main CD signals near the exciton absorption band gradually blue shift until they disappear. Moreover, the halogen-dependent negative magneto-PL effects of (R/S-MBA)2PbBrI4- thin films excited by left/right circularly polarized light can be detected at room temperature. We demonstrated that the halide composition can effectively modulate exciton splitting and chirality transfer in (R/S-MBA)2PbBrI4- owing to the chirality-induced SOC and crystalline structure transition, which lead to the adjustable CD signals. The interplay of Rashba-type band spin splitting and spin mixing among bright triplet exciton states is responsible for the halogen-dependent magneto-PL effect of chiral 2D LHPs. This study enables chiral 2D LHPs with CISS to be a new class of promising opto-spintronics materials for exploring high-performance spin-light-emitting diodes by halide engineering.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
