The tunable anisotropic Rashba spin-orbit coupling effect in Pb-adsorbed Janus monolayer WSeTe.

The spin-splitting properties of Pb-adsorbed monolayer Janus WSeTe are investigated based on first-principles calculations. The adsorbed system shows large Rashba splitting (the Rashba parameter is up to 0.75 eV Å), and we find that different adsorption layers (Te/Se adsorption layers) exhibit different significant features under spin-orbit coupling.
