Rashba-like spin-orbit interaction at oxide heterostructures emerges as amuch sought-after feature in the context of oxide spintronics andspin-orbitronics. KTaO$_3$ (KTO) is one of the best substrates available forthe purpose, owing to its strong spin-orbit interaction and alternating $+1|-1$charged layers along the (001) direction. Employing first-principlescalculations within density functional theory (DFT) and proposing a possibleelectrostatic model for charge transfer to the surfaces of KTO slabs, wecomprehensively analyze Rashba-like spin-orbit interaction with the help ofthree-dimensional band dispersion, isoenergetic contours, and projected spintextures $-$ all directly obtained from our DFT results $-$ in a thininsulating slab and a conducting thick slab of KTO. Our results revealreasonably strong linear Rashba interaction with no signature of Dresselhaus orhigher order Rashba interactions in the systems considered here. The rigorousanalysis presented here may be crucial for future developments in oxidespintronics.
