摘要:

我们用低温扫描隧道显微镜和光谱研究了BiCu $_2$ /Cu(111)表面合金。我们观察到由缺陷和台阶边缘散射引起的驻波。不同于以往的研究类似的Rashba型表面,我们确定了多个散射矢量,起源于各种带内以及带间散射过程。详细的能量依赖分析的驻波图案,使带色散的定量测定,包括Rashba分裂。结果与ARPES数据吻合良好,并证明了这种策略的有用性,以确定的能带结构的Rashba系统。其他可能的散射通道的缺乏将在自旋守恒和杂化效应方面进行讨论。这些结果为研究复杂自旋轨道耦合表面上的自旋相关散射提供了新的可能性。

英文摘要:

We have studied the BiCu$_2$/Cu(111) surface alloy using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. We observed standing waves caused by scattering off defects and step edges. Different from previous studies on similar Rashba-type surfaces, we identified multiple scattering vectors that originate from various intraband as well as interband scattering processes. A detailed energy-dependent analysis of the standing-wave patterns enables a quantitative determination of band dispersions, including the Rashba splitting. The results are in good agreement with ARPES data and demonstrate the usefulness of this strategy to determine the band structure of Rashba systems. The lack of other possible scattering channels will be discussed in terms of spin conservation and hybridization effects. The results open new possibilities to study spin-dependent scattering on complex spin-orbit coupled surfaces.
