The atomic structure of the Te monolayer is determined by scanning tunneling microscopy and quantitative low-energy electron diffraction. Using spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory, we observe a Te-Au interface state with highly anisotropic Rashba-type spin-orbit splitting at the ¯¯¯X point of the Brillouin zone. Based on a profound symmetry and tight-binding analysis, we show how in-plane square lattice symmetry and broken inversion symmetry at the Te-Au interface together enforce a remarkably anisotropic orbital Rashba effect which strongly modulates the spin splitting.
