Switchable planar chirality and spin texture in highly ordered ferroelectric hybrid perovskite domains

This article explores groundbreaking research on ferroelectric hybrid perovskites, specifically examining their domain-specific chirality and spin texture. Researchers observed that in these materials, the arrangement of atomic domains induces unique planar chirality, allowing the polarization of light and Rashba spin splitting to be controlled via domain orientation. This discovery demonstrates that ferroelectric domain walls enhance nonlinear optical responses, such as second-harmonic generation, with remarkable efficiency. The findings suggest that these hybrid perovskites could enable advanced applications in optical memory, spintronic devices, and chiral optoelectronics, leveraging their domain-induced properties for innovative technologies in quantum communication and photonics.
