Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIP) have high potential for spintronics applications. Using the circular photogalvanic effect the authors demonstrate the existence of Rashba-splitting in the continuum bands of a 2D layered HOIP that results from inversion symmetry breaking along the growth direction.
