Strong rashba-type spin polarization of the photocurrent from bulk continuum States: experiment and theory for Bi(111).
Strong spin polarization of the photocurrent from bulk continuum states of Bi(111) is experimentally observed. On the basis of ab initio one-step photoemission theory the effect is shown to originate from the strong polarization of the initial states at the surface and to be the result of the surface sensitivity of photoemission. Final state effects cause deviations of the k{∥} dependence of po...
متن کاملFano-Rashba effect in quantum dots.
We consider the electronic transport through a Rashba quantum dot coupled to ferromagnetic leads. We show that the interference of localized electron states with resonant electron states leads to the appearance of the Fano-Rashba effect. This effect occurs due to the interference of bound levels of spin-polarized electrons with the continuum of electronic states with an opposite spin polarizati...
متن کاملSwitchable S = 1/2 and J = 1/2 Rashba bands in ferroelectric halide perovskites.
The Rashba effect is spin degeneracy lift originated from spin-orbit coupling under inversion symmetry breaking and has been intensively studied for spintronics applications. However, easily implementable methods and corresponding materials for directional controls of Rashba splitting are still lacking. Here, we propose organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites as 3D Rashba systems driv...
متن کاملUpstanding Rashba spin in honeycomb lattices: Electrically reversible surface spin polarization
The spin-split states subject to Rashba spin-orbit coupling in two-dimensional systems have long been accepted as pointing inplane and perpendicular to the corresponding wave vectors. This is in general true for free-electron model, but exceptions do exist elsewhere. Within the tight-binding model, we unveil the unusual upstanding behavior of those Rashba spins around K̄ and K̄ points in honeycom...
متن کاملDirac surface states and nature of superconductivity in Noncentrosymmetric BiPd
In non-magnetic bulk materials, inversion symmetry protects the spin degeneracy. If the bulk crystal structure lacks a centre of inversion, however, spin-orbit interactions lift the spin degeneracy, leading to a Rashba metal whose Fermi surfaces exhibit an intricate spin texture. In superconducting Rashba metals a pairing wavefunction constructed from these complex spin structures will generall...
