Assessing the atomic contribution to the Rashba spin-orbit splitting in surface alloys: Sb/Ag(111)

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Christian Reinhard Ast, Luca Moreschini

We have studied the electronic structure of the Ag(111)(root 3x root 3)R30 degrees-Sb surface alloy by angle-resolved photoemission. We find two hybrid surface bands, similar to the isostructural Ag(111)-Bi interface. The spin-orbit coupling induced spin s ...

BROKEN-SYMMETRY STATES AT SURFACES: THE (tr)ARPES VIEW

Marco Grioni, Luca Perfetti

We discuss recent high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) and time-resolved ARPES experiments on selected surfaces which illustrate the formation of broken-symmetry ground states of very different nature: i) a Mott insulator in the layered dic ...

Splitting in the Fermi surface of ZrTe3: A surface charge density wave system

Corsin Battaglia, Helmuth Berger

The electronic band structure and Fermi surface of ZrTe3 was determined by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Several bands and a large part of the Fermi surface are found to be split by 100-200 meV into two parallel dispersions. Calculations of th ...

Silicon Surface with Giant Spin Splitting

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Christian Reinhard Ast, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis

We demonstrate a giant Rashba-type spin splitting on a semiconducting substrate by means of a Bi-trimer adlayer on a Si(111) wafer. The in-plane inversion symmetry is broken inducing a giant spin splitting with a Rashba energy of about 140 meV, much larger ...

Origin and manipulation of the Rashba splitting in surface alloys

Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini

A novel method is demonstrated to tailor the electronic structure of high-Z surface alloys showing a giant Rashba splitting by means of electron doping. This aims for new model systems to study unconvential spin topologies and for possible applications in ...

Giant spin-orbit splitting in a surface alloy grown on a Si substrate: BiAg2/Ag/Si(111)

Marco Grioni, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis

We report on the formation of a BiAg2/Ag/Si(1 1 1) trilayer system which exhibits a giant Rashba spin-splitting of its surface-localized states and is grown on a semiconducting substrate. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) results reveal the ...

Non-adiabatic coupling vectors within linear response time-dependent density functional theory

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Enrico Marko Tapavicza

A method is developed to compute the nonadiabatic coupling vectors (NACVs) between electronic ground and excited states as well as between any possible pair of excited states within the framework of linear response time-dependent density functional theory ...

Magnetization plateaux in an extended Shastry-Sutherland model

Frédéric Mila, Julien Dorier

We study an extended two-dimensional Shastry-Sutherland model in a magnetic field where besides the usual Heisenberg exchanges of the Shastry-Sutherland model two additional SU(2) invariant couplings are included. Perturbative continous unitary transformat ...

Improved quantification of alite and belite in anhydrous Portland cements by Si-29 MAS NMR: Effects of paramagnetic ions

Karen Scrivener, Vanessa Kocaba

The applicability, reliability, and repeatability of Si-29 MAS NMR for determination of the quantities of alite (Ca3SiO5) and belite (Ca2SiO4) in anhydrous Portland cement was investigated in detail for 11 commercial Portland cements and the results compar ...
