We study the Rashba spin splitting of the L-gap surface state on the (111) surfaces of Au, Ag,
and Cu, and that of the topologically protected surface state on Sb (111) by a first-principles …

We investigate the Rashba-type spin splitting in the Shockley surface states on Au (111) and
Ag (111) surfaces, based on first-principles calculations. By turning on and off spin-orbit …

We investigate the surface Rashba effect for a surface of reduced in-plane symmetry.
Formulating ak⋅ p perturbation theory, we show that the Rashba splitting is anisotropic, in …

We study the dependence of the spin splitting on the number N of atomic layers, using first-
principles calculation for Au (111) surface. When the slab of the atomic layers is sufficiently …

In contradiction to the nature of the spin-orbit driven Rashba splitting of surface states which
increases with atomic number, Shikin et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 057601 (2008)] have …

Rashba spin orbit coupling (SOC) in noble metal surfaces is of great importance for the
application of metal films in spintronic devices. By combining the density-functional theory …

Strong spin-orbit coupling creates exotic electronic states such as Rashba and topological
surface states, which hold promise for technologies involving the manipulation of spin. Only …

We discover a pair of spin-polarized surface bands on the (111) face of grey arsenic by
using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In the occupied side, the pair …

Spin–orbit-induced spin splitting of surface states has attracted great interest in recent years
because of the high potential for technological applications associated with this …

Abstract Surface states in Tl/Si (111)−(1× 1) and β− Bi/Si (111)−(3× 3) show non-Rashba-
type spin splitting. We study spin-transport properties in these surface states. First, we …
