One-dimensional (1D) electronic states were discovered on 1D surface atomic structure of Bi fabricated on semiconductor InSb(001) substrates by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). The 1D state showed steep, Dirac-cone-like dispersion along the 1D atomic structure with a finite direct bandgap opening as large as 150 meV. Moreover, spin-resolved ARPES revealed the spin polarization of the 1D unoccupied states as well as that of the occupied states, the orientation of which inverted depending on the wave vector direction parallel to the 1D array on the surface. These results reveal that a spin-polarized quasi-1D carrier was realized on the surface of 1D Bi with highly efficient backscattering suppression, showing promise for use in future spintronic and energy-saving devices.

A 1D metallic surface state was created on an anisotropic InSb(001) surface covered with Bi. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) showed a 1D Fermi contour with almost no 2D distortion. Close to the Fermi level ($E_{rm F}$), the angle-in
tegrated photoelectron spectra showed power-law scaling with the binding energy and temperature. The ARPES plot above $E_{rm F}$ obtained thanks to thermally broadened Fermi edge at room temperature showed a 1D state with continuous metallic dispersion across $E_{rm F}$ and power-law intensity suppression around $E_{rm F}$. These results strongly suggest a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid on the Bi/InSb(001) surface.
Electronic states on the Bi/InAs(110)-(2$times$1) surface and its spin-polarized structure are revealed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), spin-resolved ARPES, and density-functional-theory calculation. The surface state showed qua
si-one-dimensional (Q1D) dispersion and a nearly metallic character; the top of the hole-like surface band is just below the Fermi level. The size of the Rashba parameter ($alpha_{rm R}$) reached quite a large value ($sim$5.5 eVAA). The present result would provide a fertile playground for further studies of the exotic electronic phenomena in 1D or Q1D systems with the spin-split electronic states as well as for advanced spintronic devices.
We report on the electronic structure of the elemental topological semimetal $alpha$-Sn on InSb(001). High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission data allow to observe the topological surface state (TSS) that is degenerate with the bulk band structu
re and show that the former is unaffected by different surface reconstructions. An unintentional $p$-type doping of the as-grown films was compensated by deposition of potassium or tellurium after the growth, thereby shifting the Dirac point of the surface state below the Fermi level. We show that, while having the potential to break time-reversal symmetry, iron impurities with a coverage of up to 0.25 monolayers do not have any further impact on the surface state beyond that of K or Te. Furthermore, we have measured the spin-momentum locking of electrons from the TSS by means of spin-resolved photoemission. Our results show that the spin vector lies fully in-plane, but it also has a finite radial component. Finally, we analyze the decay of photoholes introduced in the photoemission process, and by this gain insight into the many-body interactions in the system. Surprisingly, we extract quasiparticle lifetimes comparable to other topological materials where the TSS is located within a bulk band gap. We argue that the main decay of photoholes is caused by intraband scattering, while scattering into bulk states is suppressed due to different orbital symmetries of bulk and surface states.
Surface electronic structure and its one-dimensionality above and below the Fermi level ($E_{rm F}$) were surveyed on the Bi/GaSb(110)-(2$times$1) surface hosting quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) Bi chains, using conventional (one-photon) and two-photon a
ngle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and theoretical calculations. ARPES results reveal that the Q1D electronic states are within the projected bulk bandgap. Circular dichroism of two-photon ARPES and density-functional-theory calculation indicate clear spin and orbital polarization of the surface states consistent with the giant sizes of Rashba-type SOI, derived from the strong contribution of heavy Bi atoms. The surface conduction band above $E_{rm F}$ forms a nearly straight constant-energy contour, suggesting its suitability for application in further studies of one-dimensional electronic systems with strong SOI. A tight-binding model calculation based on the obtained surface electronic structure successfully reproduces the surface band dispersions and predicts possible one- to two-dimensional crossover in the temperature range of 60--100~K.
We study the nature of (001) surface states in Pb_{0.73}Sn_{0.27}Se in the newly discovered topological-crystalline-insulator (TCI) phase as well as the corresponding topologically trivial state above the band-gap-inversion temperature. Our calculati
ons predict not only metallic surface states with a nontrivial chiral spin structure for the TCI case, but also nonmetallic (gapped) surface states with nonzero spin polarization when the system is a normal insulator. For both phases, angle- and spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements provide conclusive evidence for the formation of these (001) surface states in Pb_{0.73}Sn_{0.27}Se, as well as for their chiral spin structure.
