The opening of a band gap due to compressive uniaxial strain renders bulk HgTe a strong three-dimensional topological insulators with protected gapless surface states at any surface. By employing a six-band k.p model, we determine the spin…
We explore the relationship among the magnetic ordering in real space, the resulting spin texture on the Fermi surface, and the related superconducting gap structure in non-collinear antiferromagnetic metals without spin-orbit coupling. Via…
We study Weyl nodes in materials with broken inversion symmetry. We find based on first-principles calculations that trigonal Te and Se have multiple Weyl nodes near the Fermi level. The conduction bands have a spin splitting similar to the…
The spin texture of the metallic two-dimensional electron system (root3 x root3)-Au/Ge(111) is revealed by fully three-dimensional spin-resolved photoemission, as well as by density functional calculations. The large hexagonal Fermi…
The influence of tensile strain in the ab-plane on crystal and electronic structure of FeTe has been studied ab initio. In superconducting FeSe the Fermi surface nesting with a vector q~(0.5,0.5)(2\pi /a) is believed to be crucial for…
The unique feature of surface states in topological insulators is the so-called "spin-momentum locking", which means that electron spin is oriented along a fixed direction for a given momentum and forms a texture in the momentum space. In…
Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in oxides show great potential for discovering new physical phenomena and at the same time hold promise for electronic applications. In this work we use angle resolved photoemission to determine the…
We study the spin resonance in superconducting state of iron-based materials within multiband models with two unequal gaps, $\Delta_L$ and $\Delta_S$, on different Fermi surface pockets. We show that due to the indirect nature of the gap…
We determine the band structure and spin texture of WTe2 by spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES). With the support of first-principles calculations, we reveal the existence of spin polarization of both the Fermi arc…
The Fermi and Rashba energies of surface states in the Bi_xPb_{1-x}/Ag(111) alloy can be tuned simultaneously by changing the composition parameter x. We report on unconventional Fermi surface spin textures observed by spin and…
Numerous efforts have been devoted to reveal exotic semimetallic phases with topologically non-trivial bulk and/or surface states in materials with strong spin-orbit coupling. In particular, semimetals with nodal line Fermi surface (FS)…
Stoichiometric SnTe is theoretically a small gap semiconductor that undergoes a ferroelectric distortion on cooling. In reality however, crystals are always non-stoichiometric and metallic; the ferroelectric transition is therefore more…
Understanding and control of spin degrees of freedom on the surfaces of topological materials are key to future applications as well as for realizing novel physics such as the axion electrodynamics associated with time-reversal (TR)…
We derive the spin texture of a weak topological insulator via a supersymmetric approach that includes the roles of the bulk gap edge states and surface band bending. We find the spin texture can take one of four forms: (i) helical, (ii)…
We demonstrate that an important quantum material WTe$_2$ exhibits a new type of geometry-induced spin-filtering effect in photoemission, stemming from low symmetry that is responsible for its exotic transport properties. Through the…
A single two-dimensinoal Dirac fermion state has been recently observed on the surface of topological insulator Bi$_2$Te$_3$ by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We study the surface band structure using $k \cdot p$ theory…
The shape of the Fermi surface influences many physical phenomena in materials and a growing interest in how the spin-dependent properties are related to the fermiology of crystals has surged. Recently, a novel current-dependent nonlinear…
Angle-resolved photoemission spectromicroscopy on IrTe2 reveals evolution of mesoscopic striped domains across its first order phase transition at about 280 K. The striped texture of the domains is characterized by a herringbone arrangement…
The recent discovery of materials hosting persistent spin texture (PST) opens an avenue for the realization of energy-saving spintronics since they support an extraordinarily long spin lifetime. However, the stability of the PST is…
We consider electrons on a honeycomb or triangular lattice doped to the saddle point of the bandstructure. We assume system parameters are such that spin density wave (SDW) order emerges below a temperature $T_N$ and investigate the nature…
