abstract = {In this ab initio study we demonstrate that molecular
adsorption on a surface Rashba system can be used to
modulate the surface electronic structure in different
momentum space directions, i.e., to create anisotropic spin
splittings in k space. This effect is rooted in the
asymmetric adsorption of the molecules on the surface in a
hollow site which breaks the surface symmetry. More
specifically, we demonstrate that the physisorbed NH3 has a
small influence on the surface Rashba states and only gives
rise to variations of the surface state Rashba parameters up
to a factor of 1.4 over the surface Brillouin zone. In
contrast, the chemisorption of BH3 leads to variations of
the Rashba parameter by more than a factor of 2.5.
Consequently, the anisotropy of the Rashba-split-surface
states induced by molecular adsorption also gives rise to a
modulation of the surface state spin texture, i.e., the
out-of-plane spin polarization varies along different k
directions by up to $70\%$ for the occupied states. This
offers the possibility to change the spin direction from
in-plane to predominantly out-of-plane by modifying the
electronic momentum by 90°.},
