Spin-polarization of topological crystalline and normal insulator Pb${}_{1-x}$Sn${}_x$Se (111) epilayers probed by photoelectron spectroscopy

Bartłomiej Turowski, Aleksandr Kazakov, Rafał Rudniewski +8

The helical spin texture on the surface of topological crystalline insulators (TCI) makes these materials attractive for application in spintronics. In this work, spin-polarization…
