From: A Strategy to Create Spin-Split Metallic Bands on Silicon Using a Dense Alloy Layer

Calculated band structure of the
(left panel) and
(right panel) including spin-orbit coupling illustrating the (a, e) in-plane and (b, f) out-of-plane polarization components. (c, g) Experimental and (d, h) calculated Fermi contours. Inset in (g) shows the fine structure within the outlined area around the
point with a greater contrast. Arrows adjacent to the calculated contours and their length denote the in-plane spin component. The out-of-plane spin component is indicated by the colour with red and blue corresponding to the upward and downward directions, respectively. White colour indicates fully in-plane spin alignment. The tic values in parentheses in (d) refer to the pocket contours around the
