Description:
Article In two-dimensional spin-polarized systems, the valleys in the conduction bands could be useful for spintronics applications if they can be efficiently spin polarized. Here, the authors exploit the Rashba effect to achieve 100% spin-polarized valleys on a silicon surface loaded with thallium.
