This is in part because of the hope that this property can be used to create a new type of electronics, using both spin and charge of the electrons, but also because such spin-splitting can lead to new ground states of fundamental interest. It is thus desirable to maximize this effect, and increase the energy difference between states of opposite spin. Based on the large majority of existing experimental evidence gathered to date, this energy scale is a relatively small fraction of the bare spin-orbit coupling scale of the atoms involved. We have however shown that this need not be the case. Using modern synchrotron based spin and angle resolved photoemission to image spin-split states on the surfaces of delafossite oxides PdCoO<sub>2</sub>, PtCoO<sub>2</sub> and PdRhO<sub>2</sub>, we have observed spin-splitting of the size of the full atomic spin-orbit coupling of the relevant atoms. Comparing these experimental results, theory, and minimal tight binding models we were able to understand how this arises as a consequence of the relative size of the two relevant energy scales, spin-orbit coupling and inversion symmetry breaking. What is more, we show how certain structural configurations may aid the creation of such states, an insight relevant for design of new materials.</span></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 15px; text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br></p></div><div style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"> </span></b></span></b><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Voditelji seminara IF-a: <a href="mailto:hrvoje@ifs.hr" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:hrvoje@ifs.hr">Hrvoje Skenderović</a> i <a href="mailto:damirs@ifs.hr" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:damirs@ifs.hr">Damir Starešinić</a></span></b></span></b></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
