Our calculated Rashba parameters for the Bi/Ag are consistent with the previous experimental and theoretical results. We predicted a trend in the Rashba coefficients α R of bands around the Fermi energy for noble metals as follows: Bi/Ag > Bi/Cu > Bi/Au. As for the transition metals, there is a trend in α R: Bi/Ni > Bi/Co > Bi/Fe. Our finding may lead to design efficient spin-charge conversion materials. © 2016 Elsevier B.V., Embargo Period 12 months}, pages = {688--690}, title = {First-principles study of Rashba effect in ultra-thin bismuth surface alloys}, volume = {468}, year = {2017} }
