The Rashba effect is an interaction between the spin and the momentum of electrons
induced by the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in surface or interface states. Its potential for …

We report the first direct dry transfer of a single-crystalline thin film grown by molecular beam
epitaxy. A double cantilever beam fracture technique was used to transfer epitaxial bismuth …

The spin transport and spin-to-charge current conversion properties of bismuth are
investigated using permalloy/copper/bismuth (Py/Cu/Bi) lateral spin valve structures. The …

We show here that using spin orbit coupling interactions at a metallic interface it is possible
to control the sign of the spin to charge conversion in a spin pumping experiment. Using the …

High-quality devices based on layered heterostructures are typically built from materials
obtained by complex solid-state physical approaches or laborious mechanical exfoliation …

We report temperature evolution of spin-charge conversion through the inverse Rashba-
Edelstein effect (IREE) in a metallic heterostructure. The IREE was induced in a Ag/Bi …

Charge-to-spin conversion induced by the Rashba-Edelstein effect was directly observed for
the first time in samples with no magnetic layer. A spin-polarized positron beam was used to …

Topological insulators have attracted great interest as generators of spin–orbit torques
(SOTs) in spintronic devices. Bi1− xSbx is a prominent topological insulator that has a high …

Bismuth, the heaviest of all stable group V elements with strong spin-orbit coupling, is
famously known to exhibit many interesting transport properties, and effects such as …

We performed in situ magnetotransport measurements on ultrathin Bi (111) films [4–30
bilayers (BLs), 16–120 Å thick] to elucidate the role of bulk or surface states in the transport …
