In non-magnetic bulk materials, inversion symmetry protects the spin degeneracy. If the bulk crystal structure lacks a centre of inversion, however, spin-orbit interactions lift the spin degeneracy, leading to a Rashba metal whose Fermi…
Materials with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) have in recent years become a subject of intense research due to their potential applications in spintronics and quantum information technology. In particular, in systems which break inversion…
The Rashba effect is one of the most striking manifestations of spin-orbit coupling in solids, and provides a cornerstone for the burgeoning field of semiconductor spintronics. It is typically assumed to manifest as a momentum-dependent…
Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in low-dimensional systems, namely Rashba systems and the edge states of topological materials, is extensively studied in this decade as a promising source to realize various fascinating spintronic phenomena,…
Within density functional theory, we study bulk band structure and surface states of BiTeBr. We consider both ordered and disordered phases which differ in atomic order in the Te-Br sublattice. On the basis of relativistic ab-initio…
We study the electronic and spin structures of the giant Rashba-split surface states of the Bi/Si(111)-($\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$)R30 trimer phase by means of spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (spin-ARPES). Supported by…
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in conjunction with broken inversion symmetry acts as a key ingredient for several intriguing quantum phenomena viz. persistent spin textures, topological surface states and Rashba-Dresselhaus (RD) effects. The…
Optical excitations of BiTeI with large Rashba spin splitting have been studied in an external magnetic field ($B$) applied parallel to the polar axis. A sequence of transitions between the Landau levels (LLs), whose energies are in…
We study the effect of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling on the Fermi arcs of topological Dirac semimetals. The Rashba coupling is induced by breaking the inversion symmetry at the surface. Remarkably, this coupling could be enhanced by the…
Spin-orbit splitting of surface states is analyzed within and beyond the Rashba model using as examples the (111) surfaces of noble metals, Ag2Bi surface alloy, and topological insulator Bi2Se3. The ab initio analysis of relativistic…
The electronic structure of Bi2Se3 is studied by angle-resolved photoemission and density functional theory. We show that the instability of the surface electronic properties, observed even in ultra-high-vacuum conditions, can be overcome…
Associated with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and inversion symmetry breaking, Rashba spin polarization opens a new avenue for spintronic applications that was previously limited to ordinary magnets. However, spin polarization effects in actual…
Rashba spin-orbit coupling emerges in materials lacking of structural inversion symmetry, such as heterostructures, quantum wells, surface alloys and polar materials, just to mention few examples. It yields a coupling between the spin and…
A tight-binding model of bcc tungsten that includes spin-orbit coupling is developed and applied to the surface states of (110) tungsten thin films. The model describes accurately the anisotropic Dirac cone-like dispersion and Rashba-like…

We investigated the Rashba spin splittings in a compressive-strained SrTiO$_3$(001) ultra thin-film using first-principles calculations. The effect of the polarization due to the compressive strain leads to the 2DEG with large Rashba spin…
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,…
Dirac semimetals (DSMs) are three dimensional analogue to graphene with symmety enforced bulk Dirac nodes. Among various DSMs, ZrSiS has been attracting more interests recently, due to its three dimensional Dirac nodal line protected by the…
