Structural descriptor for enhanced spin-splitting in 2D hybrid perovskites
Abstract
Two-dimensional hybrid perovskites exhibiting Rashba/Dresselhaus spin-splitting can be potentially used for spin-selective transport and spin-orbitronics, yet the structural determinants of spin-splitting are not well-understood. Here, the authors reveal a specific inorganic layer distortion that correlates with bulk spin-splitting in these materials.
