Chiral Nanoplatelets Assemblies for Optoelectronic and Spintronic Devices

Objective

Chirality is an inherent property in nature characterized by asymmetry and distinctiveness. Incorporating chirality into semiconductors has provided unique optical and electronic characteristics that differ from those of achiral semiconductors, leading to innovative applications in optical communication and quantum computation. This project aims to comprehensively explore the synthesis of a emerging chiral semiconducting nanomaterial, chiral semiconducting nanoplatelet assemblies, and examine their potential in optoelectronic and spintronic devices. The project is separated to three primary objectives: 1. Develop synthesis methods for chiral nanoplatelet assemblies. 2) Investigate and enhance the chiroptical properties of these assemblies. 3) Integrate the chiral assemblies into photodetectors, LEDs, and spin polarizers. This research will contribute to the advancement of next-generation optical communication and quantum information technologies.
