Electronic Structure of the Topological Insulator Bi2Se3 Using Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy: Evidence for a Nearly Full Surface Spin Polarization

We performed high-resolution spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy studies of the electronic structure and the spin texture on the surface of Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3}, a model TI. By tuning the photon energy, we found that the topological surface state is well separated from the bulk states in the vicinity of k{sub z} = Z plane of the bulk Brillouin zone. The spin-resolved measurements in that region indicate a very high degree of spin polarization of the surface state, {approx}0.75, much higher than previously reported. Our results demonstrate that the topological surface state on Bi{sub 2}Se{sub 3} is highly spin polarized and that the dominant factors limiting the polarization are mainly extrinsic.
