The interconversion of spin, charge and light are being exploited in perovskite materials leading to efficient, new, and unique device concepts. In this talk, we present the design rules which control and explain the mechanism behind chiral transfer from chiral molecules to the HOIS framework in nanostructured embodiments. Chirality can be imparted by chiral ligands attached during synthesis or in post-synthetic ligand exchanges where the chirality can be studied as a function of the nanocrystal size and surface to volume ratio. We show chirality induced properties from halide perovskite nanocrystals of different sizes and in films and then construct multiple types of prototype devices using heterostructure concepts that harness and display these fascinating properties. Some examples include heterostructured LEDs which emit spin-controlled circularly polarized light at room temperature without external magnets, detectors which couple perovskite nanocrystals and carbon nanotubes to detect and discern circularly polarized photons, neuromorphic devices which exhibit persistent photoconduction lasting thousands of seconds beyond a weak light pulse and can also display read/write capabilities.
