Giant spin-orbit-induced spin splitting in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide semiconductors
Fully relativistic first-principles calculations based on density functional theory are performed to study the spin-orbit-induced spin splitting in monolayer systems of the transition-metal dichalcogenides MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2. All these systems are identified as direct-band-gap semiconductors. Giant spin splittings of 148–456 meV result from missing inversion symmetry. Full out-of-plane ...
متن کاملGiant collective spin-orbit field in a quantum well: fine structure of spin plasmons.
We employ inelastic light scattering with magnetic fields to study intersubband spin plasmons in a quantum well. We demonstrate the existence of a giant collective spin-orbit (SO) field that splits the spin-plasmon spectrum into a triplet. The effect is remarkable as each individual electron would be expected to precess in its own momentum-dependent SO field, leading to D'yakonov-Perel' dephasi...
متن کاملGiant anisotropy of spin-orbit splitting at the bismuth surface.
We investigate the bismuth (111) surface by means of time and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The parallel detection of the surface states below and above the Fermi level reveals a giant anisotropy of the spin-orbit spitting. These strong deviations from the Rashba-like coupling cannot be treated in k·p perturbation theory. Instead, first principles calculations could accurately repr...
متن کاملSpin-orbit-induced spin-density wave in a quantum wire.
We present analysis of the interacting quantum wire problem in the presence of magnetic field and spin-orbit interaction. We show that an interesting interplay of Zeeman and spin-orbit terms, facilitated by the electron-electron interaction, results in the spin-density wave state when the magnetic field and spin-orbit axes are orthogonal. This strongly affects charge transport through the wire:...
متن کاملSpin-orbit splitting of image states
We quantify the effect of the spin-orbit interaction on the Rydberglike series of image state electrons at the (111) and (001) surface of Ir, Pt and Au. Using relativistic multiple-scattering methods we find Rashba-like dispersions with ∆E(K) = γK with values of γ for n = 1 states in the range 38 − 88 meV Å. Extending the phase-accumulation model to include spin-orbit scattering we find that th...
