Hydrogen-terminated (H-) diamond surface is a platform to create two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) and is regarded as a Rashba system possessing a strong and tunable spin-splitting in the energy band. Whereas the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is large in heavy metals, studying large Rashba SOI in H-diamond, which is composed of only light elements, is quite significant. In this study, we observed the spin-splitting state at 2DHG of H-diamond using circular photogalvanic effect method. The obtained photocurrent clearly shows the polarization and incident angle dependence of irradiated laser indicating the spin to charge conversion originating from the Rashba-type spin splitting state at 2DHG of H-diamond.
