Bi has unique electronic properties such as low carrier concentrations, large mobilities and pronounced Rashba splitting of the surface states. We investigated the manipulation of spin-polarized transport properties in Bi(111) films by controlled adsorption of magnetic adatoms (Fe,Co,Tb,Cr). Besides pronounced effects of charge carrier doping and surface diffusion the spin-orbit scattering rate (1/τSO) can be tuned by the amount and type of the adsorbate giving rise to weak anti-/ weak- localization transitions. To enhance the spin polarization, Bi1−xSbx alloys were grown which exhibit a topological non-trivial phase for certain concentrations x. Magnetotransport measurements of a 30 BL Bi0.82Sb0.18 film on Si(111) reveals weak anti localization behavior. Compared to Bi(111) films the τSO is increased by one order of magnitude reflecting the strong spin-orbit coupling in this system with carrier concentrations of n=1· 1013cm−2 and p=2· 1013cm−2. The corresponding mobilities amounts to µn=260 cm2(Vs)−1 and µp=190 cm2(Vs)−1. By adsorption of Cr (4,8 µB) we got a first insight into the spin dependent scattering processes in this class of material.
