AB  - In this paper, a simple and powerful method to control the induced handedness of 
      helical nanofilaments (HNFs) is presented. The nanofilaments are formed by 
      achiral bent-core liquid crystal molecules employing a cholesteric liquid crystal 
      field obtained by doping a rod-like nematogen with a chiral dopant. Homochiral 
      helical nanofilaments are formed in the nanophase-separated helical 
      nanofilament/cholesteric phase from a mixture with a cholesteric phase. This 
      cholesteric phase forms at a temperature higher than the temperature at which the 
      helical nanofilament in a bent-core molecule appears. Under such conditions, the 
      cholesteric liquid crystal field acts as a driving force in the nucleation of 
      HNFs, realizing a perfectly homochiral domain consisting of identical helical 
      nanofilament handedness.
