Large spin splitting of metallic surface-state bands at adsorbate-modified gold/silicon surfaces
Finding appropriate systems with a large spin splitting of metallic surface-state band which can be fabricated on silicon using routine technique is an essential step in combining Rashba-effect based spintronics with silicon technology. We have found that originally poor structural and electronic properties of the Au/Si(111) √3 x √3 surface can be substantially improved by adsorbing small amoun...

In the frame work of relativistic density functional theory, using full potential local orbital band structure scheme (FPLO), the magnetic properties of single 3d transition metals (3d-TM) adsorbed on 2D hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) are investigated. Binding energies between 3d-TM adatoms and 2D h-BN in three different compositions, local spin magnetic moments of 3d-TM and total spin magne...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Studies on Semiconducting Interfaces with Giant Spin Splitting
The application of an external magnetic field can lift the spin degeneracy of electronic states through its interaction with the electronic magnetic moment. A closely-related phenomenon is the RashbaBychkov (RB) effect where symmetry breaking at surfaces or interfaces gives rise to an electric field which is in turn seen as an effective magnetic field in the electrons’ rest frame. The resulting...
متن کاملFirst Principles Calculations of Charge and Spin Density Waves of √ 3 - Adsorbates on Semiconductors
We present ab-initio electronic structure results on the surface of √ 3 × √ 3 adsorbates. In particular, we address the issue of metal-insulator instabilities, charge-density-waves (CDWs) or spin-density-waves (SDWs), driven by partly filled surface states and their 2D Fermi surface, and/or by the onset of magnetic instabilities. The focus is both on the newly discovered commensurate CDW transi...
متن کاملAbrupt rotation of the Rashba spin to the direction perpendicular to the surface.
The polarization vector of the Rashba spin, which must be parallel to the two-dimensional (2D) plane in an ideal system, is found to change abruptly and definitely to the direction perpendicular to the surface at the K point of the Brillouin zone of a real hexagonal system, the Tl/Si(111)-(1x1) surface. This finding obtained experimentally by angle-resolved and spin-resolved photoemission measu...
