Rashba-like spin splitting along three momentum directions in trigonal layered PtBi2

Rashba type spin splitting – relevant for spintronics applications - is driven by inversion symmetry breaking but could so far not be realized in all momentum directions in a crystal. Here, the authors report on PtBi2 that exhibits Rashba spin splitting in all three momentum directions.
