Abstract
Spin-switchable phenomena are a critical element for the development of spintronic and chiroptic devices. Herein we combine a 2D-superlattice perovskite (4,4-DFPD<sub>2</sub>PbI<sub>4</sub>) film with a ferromagnetic cobalt (Co) layer to form a multiferroic perovskite/Co interface, and demonstrate spin-switchable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) between right-handed σ<sup>+</sup> and left-handed σ<sup>-</sup> polarizations. When the ferromagnetic spins of Co at the Co/perovskite interface are altered between positive and negative magnetic field directions, the CPL from the 2D-superlattice perovskite switches from σ<sup>+</sup> to σ<sup>-</sup> polarization. The magnetic field effects present a unique method to confirm that CPL is generated by the circular-orbital momentum of light-emitting excitons within Rashba band structures, eliminating artifacts involving structural birefringence. Our polarized neutron reflectometry measurements confirm a super long-range spin-orbit interaction occurring in the 2D-superlattice perovskite films. The temperature dependence of spin-switchable phenomenon indicates an extraordinarily long orbital polarization lifetime, reaching microseconds at room temperature and milliseconds at 5 K.
