TLDR
In this article, the bulk band structure and surface states of BiTeBr were studied within density functional theory and both ordered and disordered phases, which differ in atomic order in the Te-Br sublattice.Abstract:
Within density functional theory, we study the bulk band structure and surface states of BiTeBr. We consider both ordered and disordered phases, which differ in atomic order in the Te–Br sublattice. On the basis of relativistic ab initio calculations, we show that the ordered BiTeBr is energetically preferable as compared with the disordered one. We demonstrate that both Te- and Br-terminated surfaces of the ordered BiTeBr hold surface states with a giant spin–orbit splitting. The Te-terminated surface-state spin splitting has Rashba-type behavior with the coupling parameter αR ~ 2 eVA.read more

Rashba and Dresselhaus Effects in Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Perovskites: From Basics to Devices
TL;DR: It is shown that low-dimensional nanostructures made of CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br) lead to spin splittings that can be controlled by an applied electric field, which further open the door for a perovskite-based spintronics.
