Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have shown great promise for spintronic applications due to their large spin-orbit coupling induced by the Pb and halogen atoms. Particularly, the large observed surface-induced Rashba splitting in CH3NH3PbBr3 indicates efficient spin-current-to-charge-current (StC) conversion, which, however, has not been demonstrated yet. In this work, the StC conversion efficiency in ferromagnet/CH3NH3PbBr3-based devices is studied using the pulsed spin-pumping technique measured by the inverse spin Hall effect. We found that the StC conversion efficiency is anomalous in that it increases at small perovskite layer thickness. This indicates the existence of a surface-dominated StC mechanism such as the inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect. By inserting a thin LiF layer between the ferromagnet and the perovskite film, the StC conversion efficiency is greatly suppressed, validating the existence of a Rashba surface in the CH3NH3PbBr3 film.
