From: Topological electronic structure and spin texture of quasi-one-dimensional higher-order topological insulator Bi4Br4

Fig. 4

a, b Calculated z′- and x′-component of spin polarization of the (100) surface states. c, d Calculated spin textures of the (100) surface states at the energy positions marked by the arrows in a. e, f Experimental z′- and x′-component of spin polarization of the (100) surface states. g, h z′-component of spin-resolved momentum distribution curves (MDCs) and corresponding spin polarization at selected binding energies marked by the dashed lines in e. Data were collected using a 7-eV laser at 140 K.
