Abstract
Electronic states of the Bi/InAs(110)-(2×1) surface and its spin-polarized structure are revealed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), spin-resolved ARPES, and density-functional-theory calculation. The surface electronic state showed quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) dispersion curves and a nearly metallic character; the top of the holelike band is just below the Fermi level. The size of the Rashba parameter αR reached a much larger value (∼5.5 eVÅ) than for previously reported 1D systems. The present result will provide a fertile playground for further studies of the exotic electronic phenomena in 1D or Q1D systems with the spin-split electronic states as well as for advanced spintronic devices.
