A one-atom-layer compound made of one monolayer Tl and one-third Pb on a Si(111) surface having √3×√3 periodicity was found to exhibit giant Rashba-type spin splitting metallic surface-state bands together with two-dimensional superconducting transport properties. Temperature-dependent angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy revealed an enhanced electron-phonon coupling for the spin-split bands. In situ micro-four-point-probe conductivity measurements without magnetic field demonstrated...
To exploit Rashba effect in a 2D electron gas on silicon surface for spin transport, it is necessary to have reconstruction with spin-split metallic surface-state bands. However, metals strong spin-orbit coupling (e.g., Bi, Tl, Sb, Pt) induce reconstructions almost exclusively insulating We propose strategy create bands using dense alloy layer containing metal and another modify the reconstruction. Here we report two examples, i.e., alloying Na Tl/Si(111)1 × 1 Pb. The provides new paradigm...
Finding appropriate systems with a large spin splitting of metallic surface-state band which can be fabricated on silicon using routine technique is an essential step in combining Rashba-effect based spintronics technology.

Abstract Crystalline atomic layers on solid surfaces are composed of a single building block, unit cell, that is copied and stacked together to form the entire two-dimensional crystal structure.
