Spin-flip transitions and departure from the Rashba model in the Au(111) surface
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-split surface states and employ a Wannier-based scheme for the spin-flip matrix elements. We find that the …
