Spin-polarized surface resonances accompanying topological surface state formation
The spin-orbit interaction is central to the defining characteristics of topological insulators. Here, Jozwiaket al. report a spin-polarized unoccupied surface resonance coevolving with topological surface states from a pair of Rashba-like states through spin-orbit induced band inversion.
