Spin-texture inversion in the giant Rashba semiconductor BiTeI

Spin-texture inversion in the giant Rashba semiconductor BiTeI

In semiconductors containing heavy elements, the Rashba spin-orbit interaction can couple the momentum and spin of electrons, yielding spintronic functionality. Here, the authors image band- and orbital-dependent spin-textures in the layered polar semiconductor BiTeI, demonstrating behaviour beyond...
