The metallic delafossite PdCoO2, which is among the most conductive oxides currently known (at 295 K) [1], has risen to prominence due to interesting physical effects, such as unusually long mean free paths, leading to hydrodynamic effects being observed in electron flow [2]. Further, recent Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) studies have reported exciting surface-physics on the CoO2-terminated surface. The CoO2 surface shows evidence of large Rashba spin-splitting, arising from the interplay of energy scales due to strong spin orbit coupling and inversion symmetry breaking at the surface. [3]. In this study, we have identified and investigated the CoO2 termination of PdCoO2 with low temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). We present and discuss the quasi-particle interference imaging of the Rashba spin-split surface state, and the implications for possible spintronics applications.
