The non-centrosymmetric lattice structure and large spin-orbit interaction in bismuth tellurohalides lead to large Rashba-type spin-splittings in the bulk and surface electronic structure of these materials. The resulting spin structure is predicted to be highly dependent on the orbital character of the electronic states [1]. Deploying a spin- and angle- resolving photoelectron spectrometer based on very-low-energy electron diffraction [2] and a momentum microscope with an imaging spin filter [3] we investigated the photoelectron spin polarization of the surface band structure of BiTeI for a subset of energies and momenta. Our experiments reveal a peculiar spin-structure yielding evidence for an orbital dependence of the Rashba-splitting. In particular we find evidence for a correlation between the photoelectron spin and the orbital character of the Rashba surface band.
