Switchable Ultralong Chiral Signal Transmission and Gate Tunability in Organic Chiral Semiconductor

Chiral structures have substantial potential for spin information utilization because of their distinctive spatial symmetry-breaking features and the consequent strong spin–charge correlation. One of the limitations in the development of chiral spintronics for both theoretical and practical applications is the limited range of chiral-related signal transmission, which is only tens of nanometers and is usually determined by the conductivity of the chiral materials and device applicability. In addition, the role of circularly polarized light, an important chiral parameter, in chiral signal transmission has been typically neglected. In this study, targeted chiral induction was conducted using the semiconductor polymer PCDTPT ([4-(4,4-dihexadecyl-4 H -cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b′]dithiophen-2-yl)-alt-[1,2,5]thiad-iazolo [3,4-c] pyridine]), which was further used to fabricate a field-effect transi…
