“…As an ever-evolving area, the study of chiral quantum dots (QDs) is attracting substantial attention due to their huge potential in the applications of stereosensing, − catalysis, , circularly polarized light emitters, − and more recently spintronics − and biological administrations. ,, Fundamentally, chiral QDs can be divided into several species involving (1) intrinsic chiral crystals and lattice or defects, − (2) chiral ligand-induced chiral optical activity transmissions, − and (3) chiral assemblies and shapes of achiral QDs. ,− A body of extensive reviews has well-summarized the recent progress of these nanomaterials. − Moreover, to physically understand the chiral origins, exciton–exciton (including ligand–core and particle–particle) interactions, and theories of dislocations and lattice growth mechanisms, together with advanced simulation techniques such as coupled dipole method (CDM), , density functional theory (DFT), ,,, and nondegenerate coupled-oscillator (NDCO) are widely employed/combined to unveil the chiral origins and obtain CD line shapes in the past decades …”
