Enhancing and reducing the Rashba-splitting at surfaces by adsorbates: Na and Xe on Bi/Cu(111)
The surface alloy Bi/Cu(111) shows a paradigmatic free-electron-like surface state with a very large Rashba-type spin–orbit splitting. Using angle-resolved photoemission we investigate how adsorbates of different chemical nature influence the size of the spin splitting in this system. We find that t...
