Spin-orbit coupling induced gap in graphene
|
|
By means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we show that intercalation of a Pb monolayer between the graphene sheet and the Pt(111) surface leads to formation of a gap of about 200 meV at the Dirac point of graphene. Spin-resolved photoemission (SRPES) measurements confirm the splitting to be of a spin−orbit nature, and the measured near-gap spin structure resembles that of the quantum spin Hall (QSH) state in graphene, proposed by Kane and Mele [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 226801 (2005)]. With a bandstructure tuned in this way, graphene acquires a functionality going beyond its intrinsic properties and becomes more attractive for possible spintronic applications. |
