Spintronic Phenomena and Applications in Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskites

The spin degree of freedom in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) has become a rapidly growing research topic in both HOIPs and spintronics fields due to its fundamental scientific significance and tight relevance with optoelectronics. The flourishing achievements of HOIP spintronics call for a timely review to summarize the key progress and guide future developments. In this review, classical spintronic phenomena based on spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are discussed, especially Rashba splitting and related applications such as spin-charge conversion. Owing to the unique chirality-spin coupling, spintronics in chiral HOIPs are particularly focused on, including chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). Based on the complex band structure and carrier/exciton, spin dynamics is also widely investigated and constitutes an indispensable part of HOIP spintronics. Aside from the three main threads, other spintronic phenomena such as magneto-optical coupling and device exploration are involved as promising opportunities. Despite the continuous breakthroughs in HOIP spintronics, more efforts are required to expand material systems, explore new physics, and optimize device configurations for enhanced performance and high integration. A deep understanding of spin behaviors in HOIPs will create a new platform beyond conventional optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) emerge as a promising and burgeoning material family for spintronics owing to giant Rashba SOC, chirality-spin coupling, unique spin dynamics, and rich magneto-optical effects. This review summarizes the progress of phenomena and applications in HOIP spintronics. Perspectives with specific proposals are presented according to material development, physics exploration, and device optimization. image
