The spin polarization of W(110) and Al/W(110) surfaces is studied by spin- and angle-resolved photoemission. On both surfaces distinct E(k∥) dispersions are identified with an unusual topology: a single spectral branch is spin polarized antisymmetrically relative to the Γ point, and two spin-polarized branches cross at Γ. Based on ab initio theory coupled with one-step photoemission calculations, we show that the measured spin polarization is a property of the ground state and identify the effect as the counterpart of the recently discovered Rashba-polarized bulk states but with a distinct non-Rashba topology. We address also the question of topological protection.
