Abstract

Organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHP) have been highlighted in optoelectronics research area for the last decade. OIHPs exhibit long carrier diffusion length (λ) despite of its moderate-to-low mobility (μ). In case of CH3NH3PbI3, the highest value of reported λ reaches beyond μm while the μ is about only <100cm2s-1V-1. Several underlying mechanisms have been proposed in order to account for the unusual transport property. One of them is the suppression of charge-carrier recombination by formation of spin-polarized indirect bandgap due to the Rashba effect. However, experimental evidence of such effect is lacking so far and there are ongoing debates regarding its presence and effectiveness. In this presentation, we present our unprecedented high-quality ARPES results measured on single crystal CH3NH3PbI3 (001) surface. We also show circular dichroism ARPES (CD-ARPES) from which we can exploit the information about spin-polarization of electronic structure and discuss the compatibility of the Rashba scenario. We believe our work provides important experimental evidence of one of the most debatable issues in OIHPs.
