Abstract: We performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments on the surface states of SrTiO3(001) using linearly and circularly polarized light to investigate the subband structures of out-of-plane dxz/yz orbitals and chiral orbital angular momentum (OAM). The data taken in the first Brillouin zone reveal new subbands for dxz/yz orbitals with Fermi wave vectors of 0.25 and 0.45Å-1 in addition to the previously reported ones. As a result, there are at least two subbands for all the Ti 3d t2g orbitals. Our circular dichroism ARPES data are suggestive of a chiral OAM structure in the surface states and may provide clues to the origin of the linear Rashba-like surface band splitting. © 2017 American Physical Society
