Spin-orbit interaction and Dirac cones in<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>d</mml:mi></mml:math>-orbital noble metal surface states
Band splittings, chiral spin polarization, and topological surface states generated by spin-orbit interactions at crystal surfaces are receiving a lot of attention for their potential device applications as well as fascinating physical properties. Most studies have focused on $sp$ states near the Fermi energy, which are relevant for transport and …
