Spin chiral anisotropy (SChA) refers to the occurrence of different spin polarization in antipodal chiral structures. Herein, we report the SChA in diamagnetic chiral mesostructured In2O3 films (CMIFs) with manifestation of chirality-dependent magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) signals. CMIFs were grown on fluorine-doped tin dioxide conductive glass (FTO) substrates synthesized via a hydrothermal route, using malic acid as symmetry-breaking agents. Two levels of chirality have been identified in CMIFs: primary nanoflakes with atomically twisted crystal lattices and secondary helical stacking of the nanoflakes. CMIFs exhibit chirality-dependent asymmetric MCD signals due to the different interaction of chirality-induced effective magnetic field and external magnetic field, which distinguish from the commonly observed external magnetic field-dependent symmetric MCD signals. These findings provide insights into spin manipulation of spin-paired diamagnets.
