Fig. 4: Se-site projection of the electronic structure from Se p-orbitals.

From: Hidden spin-orbital texture at the \(\overline{{{\Gamma }}}\)-located valence band maximum of a transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductor

Fig. 4

a The combined p-orbital contribution to the spin-texture of HfSe2 is shown, projected onto the top (Se1, left) and bottom (Se2, right) layer. b Equivalent calculations to those in a, now including a full kz projection for better comparison to experiment (see two-dimensional colour bar). Note in particular the one-to-one correspondence of all features in the kz projected spectra in b to the experimentally obtained data-sets in Fig. 3, further suggesting that all five bands discussed in the main text originate from the complex out-of-plane dispersions of the three shallowest doubly-degenerate branches shown in a.
