  "abstract": "The persistent spin helix (PSH) that has been widely and exclusively studied in zinc-blende structures is revealed for the first time on the surface of a wurtzite structure. Through first-principles calculations of the ZnO(10-10) surface, a quasi-one dimensional orientation of the spin textures is identified. Further, the wavelength of this particular PSH is smaller than that observed with various zinc-blende quantum well structures, thus indicating that wurtzite-structured surfaces are suitable for spintronics applications.",
