We have found and characterized by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) quasi-one dimensional spin-split states in chain-like surface alloys formed by large Z elements (Bi and Pb) at the Cu(110) surface. The ARPES results are…
Two-dimensional materials with Rashba split bands near the Fermi level are key to developing upcoming next-generation spintronics. They enable generating, detecting, and manipulating spin currents without an external magnetic field. Here,…
Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in low-dimensional systems results in the fascinating property of spin-momentum locking. In a Rashba system the inversion symmetry normal to the plane of a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas is broken, generating…
Experimentally it is still challenging to epitaxially grow Bi(111) bilayer (BL) on conventional semiconductor substrate. Here, we propose a substrate of $\beta-$In$_2$Se$_3$(0001) with van der Waals like cleavage and large band gap of…
The electrical manipulation of spins in semiconductors, without magnetic fields or auxiliary ferromagnetic materials, represents the holy grail for spintronics. The use of Rashba effect is very attractive because the k-dependent…

Transport measurements in inverted InAs/GaSb quantum wells reveal a giant spin-orbit splitting of the energy bands close to the hybridization gap. The splitting results from the interplay of electron-hole mixing and spin-orbit coupling, and…
