Using angular resolved photoemission (ARPES) at 70 K, we investigated the band structure of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) created by Cs adsorption on p-type InSb(110). Cs induces a large band bending on the surface of p-type InSb(110) and creates a 2DES in the inversion layer. ARPES measurements reveal the parabola of the first 2DES subband exhibiting an effective mass of only m*=0.022 m0 in accordance with theory.
The large electric field within the 2DES leads to a large Rashba parameter estimated to be about α = 7 × 10−11eVm. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy studies [1] indeed show a beating pattern in the Landau levels of the system which can be attributed to this Rashba spin splitting. Experiments to probe this spin splitting by ARPES are under way.
