Abstract
Circularly polarized light emission promotes the development of smart photonic materials for advanced applications in chiral sensing and information storage. The orbital angular momentum is a unique property for organic chiral helical materials. In this work, a type of organic chiral polymeric nanowires is designed with strong chirality induced orbital angular momentum. Under the stimulus of an external magnetic field of 600 mT, circularly polarized emission from the chiral polymeric nanowire becomes more pronounced, where the g factor increases from 0.21 to 0.3. The observed phenomena mainly originate from the chirality-dependent orbital angular momentum. Moreover, the orbital angular momentum in helical chiral nanowire structures can be suppressed by inhibiting electron transport in a helical way to diminish circularly polarized light emission at room temperature.
