Spatial aspects of spin polarization of structurally split surface states in thin films with magnetic exchange and spin–orbit interaction

A theoretical study is presented of the effect of an in-plane magnetic exchange field on the band structure of centrosymmetric films of noble metals and topological insulators. Based on an ab initio relativistic k ⋅ p theory, a minimal effective model is developed that describes two coupled copies o...
