We fabricated spin-polarized surface electronic states with tunable Fermi level from semiconductor to low-dimensional metal in the Bi/GaSb(110)-(2$times$1) surface using angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and spin-resolved ARPES. The spin-polarized surface band of Bi/GaSb(110) exhibits quasi-one-dimensional character with the Rashba parameter $alpha _{rm R}$ of 4.1 and 2.6 eVAA at the $bar{Gamma}$ and $bar{rm Y}$ points of the surface Brillouin zone, respectively. The Fermi level of the surface electronic state is tuned in situ by element-selective Ar-ion sputtering on the GaSb substrate. The giant Rashba-type spin splitting with switchable metallic/semiconducting character on semiconductor substrate makes this system a promising candidate for future researches in low-dimensional spintronic phenomena.

We study the magnetic anisotropy which arises at the interface between a thin film ferromagnet and a 3-d Rashba material. The 3-d Rashba material is characterized by the spin-orbit strength $alpha$ and the direction of broken bulk inversion symmetry
$hat n$. We find an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy in the $hat{z}timeshat{n}$ direction, where $hat z$ is the interface normal. For realistic values of $alpha$, the uniaxial anisotropy is of a similar order of magnitude as the bulk magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Evaluating the uniaxial anisotropy for a simplified model in 1-d shows that for small band filling, the in-plane easy axis anisotropy scales as $alpha^4$ and results from a twisted exchange interaction between the spins in the 3-d Rashba material and the ferromagnet. For a ferroelectric 3-d Rashba material, $hat n$ can be controlled with an electric field, and we propose that the interfacial magnetic anisotropy could provide a mechanism for electrical control of the magnetic orientation.
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 use $vec{k}cdotvec{p}$ theory to estimate the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in large semiconductor nanowires. We specifically investigate GaAs- and InSb-based devices with different gate configurations to control symmetry and localization of th
e electron charge density. We explore gate-controlled SOC for wires of different size and doping, and we show that in high carrier density SOC has a non-linear electric field susceptibility, due to large reshaping of the quantum states. We analyze recent experiments with InSb nanowires in light of our calculations. Good agreement is found with SOC coefficients reported in Phys. Rev.B 91, 201413(R) (2015), but not with the much larger values reported in Nat Commun., 8, 478 (2017). We discuss possible origins of this discrepancy.
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$5.5 eVAA). The present result would provide a fertile playground for further studies of the exotic electronic phenomena in 1D or Q1D systems with the spin-split electronic states as well as for advanced spintronic devices.
Nanomechanical resonators have demonstrated great potential for use as versatile tools in a number of emerging quantum technologies. For such applications, the performance of these systems is restricted by the decoherence of their fragile quantum sta
tes, necessitating a thorough understanding of their dissipative coupling to the surrounding environment. In bulk amorphous solids, these dissipation channels are dominated at low temperatures by parasitic coupling to intrinsic two-level system (TLS) defects, however, there remains a disconnect between theory and experiment on how this damping manifests in dimensionally-reduced nanomechanical resonators. Here, we present an optomechanically-mediated thermal ringdown technique, which we use to perform simultaneous measurements of the dissipation in four mechanical modes of a cryogenically-cooled silicon nanoresonator, with resonant frequencies ranging from 3 - 19 MHz. Analyzing the devices mechanical damping rate at fridge temperatures between 10 mK - 10 K, we demonstrate quantitative agreement with the standard tunneling model for TLS ensembles confined to one dimension. From these fits, we extract the defect density of states ($P_0 sim$ 1 - 4 $times$ 10$^{44}$ J$^{-1}$ m$^{-3}$) and deformation potentials ($gamma sim$ 1 - 2 eV), showing that each mechanical mode couples on average to less than a single thermally-active defect at 10 mK.
