The electronic structure of non-magnetic low-dimensional materials can acquire a spin
structure due to the breaking of the inversion symmetry at the surface or interface. This so …

Atomically thin topological materials are attracting growing attention for their potential to
radically transform classical and quantum electronic device concepts. Among them is the …

By combining scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, angle-resolved
photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory band calculations, we directly …

Spin-polarized band structure of the three-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulator Bi 1− x
Sb x (x= 0.12–0.13) was fully elucidated by spin-polarized angle-resolved photoemission …

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 …

We report on the observation of a giant spin-orbit splitting of quantum-well states in the
unoccupied electronic structure of a Bi monolayer on Cu (111). Up to now, Rashba-type …

We performed angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of the Bi (111) surface to
demonstrate that this surface supports edge states of non-trivial topology. Along the $\bar …

The development of next-generation electronics is much dependent on the discovery of
materials with exceptional surface-state spin and valley properties. Because of that, bismuth …

The surface of W (110) exhibits a Dirac-cone-like state with d character within a spin-orbit-
induced symmetry gap. As a function of the wave vector parallel to the surface, it shows a …

We performed a spin-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of bismuth ultrathin
film on Si (111) with various film thickness d. We found that the spin polarization of spin-split …
