Intense circularly polarized luminescence is crucial for high-performance electroluminescent, optoelectronic, and photonic devices. This study investigates the magneto-chiral characteristics of two achiral soluble diamagnetic perovskite-type PbQDs. Magnetic fields of 158 and 198 mT are applied using an electromagnet in a toluene solution at 25 °C. Both PbQDs show a magnetic circularly polarized luminescence magnitude of approximately 10-3 within the (480 to 580) nm wavelength range. The strength of the magnetic circularly polarized luminescence increases with the intensity of the applied magnetic field. Furthermore, the study demonstrates rapid and reversible switching of the rotation direction of the magnetic circularly polarized luminescence when the magnetic poles are rapidly changed. These results suggest that the direction (right- and left-rotating light) and circular polarization of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) from circularly polarized perovskites can be alternately and freely controlled by applying an external magnetic field with an appropriate direction and strength.
