Atomic structure and Charge density distribution \(|\psi {|}^{2}\) of NM(111)/α-Bi2O3. Atomic structure of NM(111)/α-Bi2O3; (a) top view; (b) side view. Blue, purple and red circles correspond to NM material, Bismuth and Oxygen. (c) Strength dependence of SOC of Bi on Rashba coefficient \({{\boldsymbol{\alpha }}}_{{\bf{R}}}\) for NM(111)/α-Bi2O3. Charge density distribution \(|{\boldsymbol{\psi }}{|}^{2}\) of (d) Cu/Bi2O3; (e) Ag/Bi2O3; (f) Au/Bi2O3. The planar averaged electrostatic potential V is also shown. The origin is fixed to the position of the nearest neighbor Bi atom from top NM atom. The vertical line represents the position of the peak of \(|{\boldsymbol{\psi }}{|}^{2}\).
