Direct evidence of hidden local spin polarization in a centrosymmetric superconductor LaO0.55 F0.45BiS2

The local broken symmetry induced spin-splitting in centrosymmetric materials has been predicted previously. Here the authors provide spectroscopic evidence for the coexistence of Rashba-like and Dresselhaus-like spin textures in centrosymmetric electron doped superconductor La(O,F)BiS2.
