A combined experimental and theoretical study of Rashba-split surface states on the Pb/Ag(111) surface

We report on a combined low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and density functional theory (DFT) investigation of the $(\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3})$ R 30°Pb/Ag(111) surface alloy which provides a giant Rashba-type spin splitting. With...
