Rashba-type spin splitting and spin interference of the Cu(111) surface state at room temperature
We report on the measurement of the Rashba-type spin splitting of the Shockley surface state on Cu(111) by spinand angle-resolved photoemission at room temperature. Along the spatial direction expected for a Rashba-type effect the measured spin splitting corresponds to what has previously been reported by first principle calculations which were verified by high resolution ARPES using low temper...
متن کاملSurface alloy engineering in 2D trigonal lattice: giant Rashba spin splitting and two large topological gaps
Wedemonstrate that sp based trigonal lattice can exhibit giant Rashba splitting and two large topological gaps simultaneously. First, an effective tight bindingmodel is developed to describe the Rashba spin–orbit coupling (SOC) on a real surface and give a topological phase diagrambased on two independent SOCparameters. Second, based on density functional theory calculations, it is proposed tha...
متن کاملQuantitative vectorial spin analysis in angle-resolved photoemission: Bi/Ag(111) and Pb/Ag(111)
The concept of vectorial spin analysis in spin and angle-resolved photoemission is illustrated in this paper. Two prototypical systems, Bi/Ag(111)(sqrt(3)×sqrt(3))R30° and Pb/Ag(111)(sqrt(3)×sqrt(3))R30°, which show a large Rashba-type spin-orbit splitting, were investigated by means of spin and angle-resolved photoemission. The spin polarization vectors of individual bands were determined by a...
متن کاملStructural influence on the Rashba-type spin splitting in surface alloys
The Bi/Ag(111), Pb/Ag(111), and Sb/Ag(111) surface alloys exhibit a two-dimensional band structure with a strongly enhanced Rashba-type spin splitting, which is in part attributed to the structural asymmetry resulting from an outward relaxation of the alloy atoms. In order to gain further insight into the spin splitting mechanism, we have experimentally determined the outward relaxation of the ...
متن کاملSilicon surface with giant spin splitting.
We demonstrate a giant Rashba-type spin splitting on a semiconducting substrate by means of a Bi-trimer adlayer on a Si(111) wafer. The in-plane inversion symmetry is broken inducing a giant spin splitting with a Rashba energy of about 140 meV, much larger than what has previously been reported for any semiconductor heterostructure. The separation of the electronic states is larger than their l...
