Publisher's Note: Spin-flip transitions and departure from the Rashba model in the Au(111) surface [Phys. Rev. B<b>88</b>, 125404 (2013)]
We present a detailed analysis of the spin-flip excitations induced by a periodic time-dependent electric field in the Rashba prototype Au(111) noble metal surface. Our calculations incorporate the full spinor structure of the spin-polarized surface states and employ a Wannier-based scheme for the spin-flip matrix elements. We find that the …
