亚晶格不对称性和自旋轨道相互作用诱导的光电子面外自旋极化

Sublattice asymmetry and spin-orbit interaction induced out-of-plane spin polarization of photoelectrons

Peter Rakyta, Andor Kormanyos, Jozsef Cserti

摘要:

从理论上研究了石墨烯中自旋轨道耦合和亚晶格不对称性对光电子自旋极化的影响。我们发现,亚晶格的不对称性不仅在石墨烯的能带结构中打开了一个间隙,但在有限的自旋轨道相互作用的情况下,它也引起了一个面外的自旋极化的电子接近狄拉克点的布里渊区。这可以通过测量光电子的自旋极化来检测,因此自旋分辨光电子能谱可以揭示带隙的存在,即使带隙太小而不能通过角度分辨光电子能谱直接观察到,因为测量的有限分辨率或因为样品是$p$掺杂的。我们提出的光电子强度分布和自旋极化的能量和线宽依赖的解析和数值计算。

英文摘要:

We study theoretically the effect of spin-orbit coupling and sublattice asymmetry in graphene on the spin polarization of photoelectrons. We show that sublattice asymmetry in graphene not only opens a gap in the band structure but in case of finite spin-orbit interaction it also gives rise to an out-of-plane spin polarization of electrons close to the Dirac point of the Brillouin zone. This can be detected by measuring the spin polarization of photoelectrons and therefore spin resolved photoemission spectroscopy can reveal the presence of a band gap even if it is too small to be observed directly by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy because of the finite resolution of measurements or because the sample is $p$-doped. We present analytical and numerical calculations on the energy and linewidth dependence of photoelectron intensity distribution and spin polarization.
