Abstract:
A chiral exciton represents a bound electron-hole pair for its interaction with circularly polarized light and is considerable in reduced-dimensional chiral perovskite nanocrystals (c-PNCs). A chiral exciton gex-factor further decides spin-related excitonic sub-bands with responses to an external magnetic field, which leads to the field-manipulation of optical transitions and luminescence. It is thus very important to precisely quantify the chiral exciton gex-factor. Herein, high-quality c-PNCs were synthesized to generate pure blue circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) at 464 nm. With a joint experimental and theoretical study, the magnetic field manipulation for CPL was studied in order to quantify the gex-factor. It was further explored and verified by the magnetic circularly dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. Our results suggest that the magnetic field acts as an effective tool for unraveling the microscopic origin of the magneto-optical activity (MOA) and revealing chiral excitonic photophysical properties such as the gex-factor in the c-PNC system.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
