Abstract
An electronic structure of a Au atomic chain on Ni(110), which was investigated decades ago, has been reinvestigated by high-resolution spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Clear evidence of a Rashba spin split, i.e., spin-polarization reversal between positive and negative wave vectors with respect to the symmetry point, has been observed in the electronic bands possessing quasi-one-dimensional character. The observed spin-split state caused by spin-orbit interaction (SOI) was overlooked in the previous spin-resolved photoemission study probably due to the dominant effect of exchange splitting of the Ni substrate than the Rashba effect and poorer resolution of the previous measurement. The system containing both the Rashba-type SOI and the exchange interaction with one-dimensional character will provide a platform to investigate the effect of exchange interaction on the spin-split states caused by SOI with low dimensionality.
