 abstract = {Majority of the A(2)B(3)-type chalcogenide systems with strong
spin-orbit coupling (SOC), such as Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3, and Sb2Te3, etc., are
topological insulators. One important exception is Sb2Se3 where a
topological nontrivial phase was argued to be possible under ambient
conditions, but such a phase could be detected to exist only under
pressure. In this paper, we show that Sb2Se3 like Bi2Se3 displays a
generation of highly spin-polarized current under mesoscopic
superconducting point contacts as measured by point-contact Andreev
reflection spectroscopy. In addition, we observe a large negative and
anisotropic magnetoresistance of the mesoscopic metallic point contacts
formed on Sb2Se3. Our band-structure calculations confirm the trivial
nature of Sb2Se3 crystals and reveal two trivial surface states one of
which shows large spin splitting due to Rashba-type SOC. The observed
high spin polarization and related phenomena in Sb2Se3 can be attributed
to this spin splitting.},
