    Abstract:
    The solar cell and light-emitting device research community is currently focusing on investigating two-dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskite materials owing to their remarkable stability and intriguing optoelectronic characteristics, which hold significant promise for various applications. In general, the introduction of chirality in hybrid perovskites arises from symmetry breaking within their inorganic frameworks. Nevertheless, despite this understanding, the specific factors driving the observed increase in splitting remain obscure due to a lack of comprehensive investigations. Our research delves into the electronic properties of 2D layered hybrid perovskites, considering their behavior with and without spin-orbit coupling. We specifically focus on effect of Rashba splitting and the impact of electronic structure variation across a range of chiral perovskites by introducing chiral organic cations with differing degrees of π-conjugation, resulting in significant changes in spin-splitting magnitude. Systematic first principles investigations confirm that the distortion of the cage and d-spacing of chiral perovskites are crucial design parameters for achieving strong spin-splitting in 2D layered perovskites. Furthermore, our investigation reveals that these systems exhibit remarkable absorption capabilities in the visible light spectrum, as demonstrated by their computed optoelectronic characteristics. The chiral perovskites described in this study, which exhibit substantial spin-splitting, present a distinctive prototype with potential implications for spintronics and photovoltaics.
