Spin-Orbit Coupling Induced Surface Band Splitting in LiyW(110) and LiyMo(110)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The broken symmetry at surfaces can give rise to a nonzero spin-orbit splitting of valence bands. We observe such a splitting of the d-derived surface state on W(110) and, to a lesser extent, on Mo(110), and follow the evolution of the splitting as monovalent atoms are adsorbed. The observed evolution is directly relevant to recent observations of altered orbital magnetic structure versus adsorbate coverage in magnetic materials. We propose a spin ordering for the associated Fermi contours which has important implications for spin excitations at surfaces. [S0031-9007(99)09192-9]

Induced Rashba splitting of electronic states in monolayers of Au, Cu on a W(110) substrate
The paper sums up a theoretical and experimental investigation of the influence of the spin–orbit coupling in W(110) on the spin structure of electronic states in deposited Au and Cu monolayers. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy reveals that in the case of monolayers of Au and Cu spin–orbit split bands are formed in a surface-projected gap of W(110). Spin resolution shows that these sta...
متن کاملFine tuning of spin-orbit splitting in Ag ultrathin films deposited on Au(111)
Due to their surface localization, sp-derived Shockley states have been shown to be a unique spectroscopic probe of surface phenomena [1]. In particular, any perturbation of the surface like gas adsorption [2], lateral confinement [3], or surface reconstruction [4] should influence the free-electron like surface state parameters : band minimum, effective mass and lifetime. For exemple, by compa...
متن کاملEnhanced Valley Splitting in Silicon Nanowires and Point Contacts
Splitting between equivalent valleys larger than the spin splitting is reported in a laterally confined electron system in thin Si films grown on SiGe substrate. We demonstrate that the enhanced splitting can be explained within a simple model of the conduction band structure in silicon. Our results are in good agreement with recent first-principle calculation data. Due to the weak spin-orbit c...
متن کاملSpin-orbit coupling-induced magnetic phase in the d-density-wave phase of La(2-x)Ba(x)CuO4 superconductors.
We study the effects of spin-orbit coupling in the d-density wave (DDW) phase. In the low-temperature orthorhombic phase of La(2-x)Ba(x)CuO4, we find that spin-orbit coupling induces ferromagnetic moments in the DDW phase, which are polarized along the [110] direction with a considerable magnitude. This effect does not exist in the superconducting phase. On the other hand, if the d-density wave...
