Ultrafast broadband sensitive magneto-chiroptical microscopy to track the consequences of symmetry breaking in solution-processable semiconductors

Chiral solution-processable semiconductors are a new class of materials that could revolutionize optoelectronics by enabling circularly polarized light (CPL) emission and spin control without external magnetic fields at room temperature. This could enhance the efficiency of displays, solar cells, holography, cryptography, and biomedical imaging, while opening new possibilities in quantum information processing. However, current trial-and-error approaches, limited by the absence of suitable techniques to probe mechanisms, prevent systematic breakthroughs in designing chiral materials with strong CPL emission and spin polarization. MACHIRO will overcome these limitations. We will develop the…
