Abstract
Interest in the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite semiconductors has skyrocketed in recent years due to unprecedented high performance as solution-processable absorber layers in solar cells [1]. These materials also have potential for applications in semiconductor spintronics due to their large spin-orbit interaction. Theoretical studies predict a large Rashba spin splitting [2], and recent experiments have revealed a large photoinduced magnetization [3-5] and spin-dependent optical Stark effect [6], yet still relatively little is known about the spin-related properties of these materials. Here we report polarization-dependent pump probe studies of the 2D perovskite butylammonium methylammonium lead iodide. Our experiments indicate a strong influence of the Rashba spin splitting on the carrier kinetics in this system, consistent with our recent four-wave mixing studies of bulk CH3NH3PbI3.
