We show that the degree of spin polarization of photoelectrons from the surface states of topological insulators is 100% if fully-polarized light is used as in typical photoemission measurements, and hence can be significantly "higher" than…
The photon spin is an important resource for quantum information processing as is the electron spin in spintronics. However, for subwavelength confined optical excitations, polarization as a global property of a mode cannot be defined.…
