The ferroelectric semiconductor GeTe has been proposed to exhibit a giant spin splitting of bulk Rashba bands with spin rotation direction coupled to the dielectric polarization [1]. We probe GeTe(111) grown by MBE using in-situ angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). We identify a novel Rashba-split surface band with giant spin splitting and find signatures of the bulk Rashba band by comparison with density functional theory calculations [2]. The ferroelectric polarization, as determined by piezo force microscopy, agrees with the predicted helical spin-momentum relation of the Rashba bands.
