We have studied the spin feature of Dirac-cone surface state at W(110), using SARPE spectroscopy with various light polarizations; left and right circular or s- and p- polarizations. We have noted that the observed spin feature of photoelectrons excited by p-polarized light is opposite to the case of s-polarized light for tangential spin component. According to dipole selection rule, we can observe the spin feature of even orbital symmetry and odd orbital symmetry by p-polarized light and s-polarized light, respectively. In that, their results show the orbital dependence of spin feature of the Dirac-cone-like surface state [2].

  On the other hand, in the case of circular polarized light, not only tangential spin component but also radial and out-of-plane spin component can be observed. The observed complex spin feature accepts strongly influenced by C2v symmetry. In detail, I introduce you in my presentation.
