Weyl spin-momentum locking in a chiral topological semimetal

Spin-orbit coupling in noncentrosymmetric crystals leads to spin-momentum locking - a directional relationship between an electron's spin angular momentum and its linear momentum. Isotropic orthogonal Rashba spin-momentum locking has been studied for decad ...

Observation of correlated spin-orbit order in a strongly anisotropic quantum wire system

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff

Quantum wires with spin-orbit coupling provide a unique opportunity to simultaneously control the coupling strength and the screened Coulomb interactions where new exotic phases of matter can be explored. Here we report on the observation of an exotic spin ...

Giant spin splitting of the two-dimensional electron gas at the surface of SrTiO3

Jan Hugo Dil

Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) forming at the interfaces of transition metal oxides(1-3) exhibit a range of properties, including tunable insulator-superconductor-metal transitions(4-6), large magnetoresistance(7), coexisting ferromagnetism and sup ...

Concept of a multichannel spin-resolving electron analyzer based on Mott scattering

Jan Hugo Dil

The concept of a multichannel electron spin detector based on optical imaging principles and Mott scattering (iMott) is presented. A multichannel electron image produced by a standard angle-resolving (photo) electron analyzer or microscope is re-imaged by ...

Observation of a singular Weyl point surrounded by charged nodal walls in PtGa

Oleg Yazyev, Jan Hugo Dil, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

Constrained by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem, in all so-far experimentally determined Weyl semimetals (WSMs) the Weyl points (WPs) always appear in pairs in the momentum space with no exception. As a consequence, Fermi arcs occur on surfaces which con ...

Persistence of Structural Distortion and Bulk Band Rashba Splitting in SnTe above Its Ferroelectric Critical Temperature

Jan Hugo Dil

The ferroelectric semiconductor alpha-SnTe has been regarded as a topological crystalline insulator, and the dispersion of its surface states has been intensively measured with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) over the past decade. However ...

Surface and bulk electronic structure of the strongly correlated system SmB6 and implications for a topological Kondo insulator

Joël Mesot, Jan Hugo Dil

Recent theoretical calculations and experimental results suggest that the strongly correlated material SmB6 may be a realization of a topological Kondo insulator. We have performed an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study on SmB6 in order to eluc ...

Spin-resolved photoemission study of epitaxially grown MoSe2 and WSe2 thin films

Yi Zhang, Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff, Mauro Fanciulli

Few-layer thick MoSe2 and WSe2 possess non-trivial spin textures with sizable spin splitting due to the inversion symmetry breaking embedded in the crystal structure and strong spin-orbit coupling. We report a spin-resolved photoemission study of MoSe2 and ...

Direct measurement of the bulk spin structure of noncentrosymmetric BiTeCl

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff

A strong spin-orbit interaction leads to a Rashba-type splitting of the bulk bands of BiTeCl, which results in toroidal Fermi surfaces with distinct spin structures depending on the chemical potential. Here, we present spin-and angle-resolved photoelectron ...

Unconventional transformation of spin Dirac phase across a topological quantum phase transition

Jan Hugo Dil

The topology of a topological material can be encoded in its surface states. These surface states can only be removed by a bulk topological quantum phase transition into a trivial phase. Here we use photoemission spectroscopy to image the formation of prot ...
