Topological states induced by local structural modification of the polar BiTeI(0001) surface

The layered polar semiconductor BiTeI exhibits large Rashba-type spin–orbit splittings in its bulk and surface electronic structure. Here we report an artificial structural modification near the surface of BiTeI(0001) induced by annealing in vacuum. Using scanning tunneling microscopy we show that t...
