Temperature dependence of the electronic structure of SmB6 is studied by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) down to 1 K. We demonstrate that there is no essential difference for the dispersions of the surface states below and ...
Combining first-principles calculations and spin-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements, we identify the helical spin textures for three different Dirac cone states in the interfaced systems of a two-dimensional (2D) topological insulat ...
We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to show that the near-surface electronic structure of a bulk insulating iridate Sr3Ir2O7 lying near a metal-Mott insulator transition exhibits weak metallicity signified by finite electronic spectral weight ...
The physical and electronic properties of the Ir modified Si(1 1 1) surface have been investigated with the help of angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory. The surface consists of Ir-ring clusters that form a root 7 x root ...
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 a Fermi surface ...
By angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) we observe a giant Rashba-type spin splitting in the electronic bulk conduction and valence bands of the semiconductor BiTeCl. This material belongs to the group of bismuth tellurohalides BiTeX (X=Cl,Br, ...
We report on the epitaxial fabrication and electronic properties of a topological phase in strained alpha-Sn on InSb. The topological surface state forms in the presence of an unusual band order not based on direct spin-orbit coupling, as shown in density ...
We present time-resolved photoemission experiments from a peculiar bismuth surface, Bi(114). The strong one-dimensional character of this surface is reflected in the Fermi surface, which consists of spin-polarized straight lines. Our results show that the ...
By means of spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy we studied the spin structure of thin films of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 grown on InP(111). For thicknesses below six quintuple layers the spin- polarized metallic topological surface s ...
We identify the multilayered compound GeBi4Te7 to be a topological insulator with a Dirac point slightly above the valence band maximum, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. The spin polarization satisfies the time reversal ...
