Chiral spin texture in the charge-density-wave phase of the correlated metallic Pb/Si(111) monolayer

C. Tresca, C. Brun, T. Bilgeri +10

We investigate the 1/3 monolayer $\alpha$-Pb/Si(111) surface by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) and fully relativistic first-principles calculations. We study both the high-temper…
