Chiral solution-processable semiconductors based, for example, on small molecules, polymers or halide perovskites offer an exciting new avenue to simultaneously control charge, spin and light using a single material. This could enable efficient spin-optoelectronic devices ranging from displays and holography to detectors, and even applications in quantum information technology.[1] In this talk, I will give an overview of our recent efforts to understand the underlying mechanisms by developing novel time-resolved chiroptical spectroscopy techniques.

By pushing broadband circular dichroism to diffraction-limited spatial and 15 fs time resolution, we create a spin cinematography technique to witness the ultrafast formation of spin domains in halide perovskite films due to local symmetry breaking and spin-momentum locking.[2]

In terms of circularly polarized photoluminescence (CPL), I will first explain the fundamentals and artifacts involved in measuring CPL reliably and introduce an open-access methodology and code to do so [3].

I will conclude by showing our most recent development of a transient broadband full Stokes vector polarimetry with unprecedented time and polarization resolution to track the emergence of chiral light emission [to be submitted].
