Description
Summary:Recently, a two-dimensional Dion–Jacobson (DJ) perovskite (AMP)­PbI4 (AMP = 4-(aminomethyl)­piperidinium) is emerging with remarkable Rashba effect and ferroelectricity. However, the origin of the giant Rashba splitting remains elusive and the current synthetic strategy via slow cooling is time- and power-consuming, hindering its future applications. Here, we report on an economical aqueous method to obtain (AMP)­PbI4 crystals and clarify the origin of the giant Rashba effect by temperature- and polarization-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The strong temperature-dependent PL helicity indicates the thermally assisted structural distortion as the main origin of the Rashba effect, suggesting that valley polarization still preserves at high temperatures. The Rashba effect was further confirmed by the circular photogalvanic effect near the indirect bandgap. Our study not only optimizes the synthetic strategies of this DJ perovskite but also sheds light on its potential applications in room/high-temperature spintronics and valleytronics.
