چکیده
Spin current generation and manipulation remain the key challenge of spintronics, in which relativistic spinorbit coupling (SOC) play a ubiquitous role. In this letter, we demonstrate that hidden Rashba spins non-magnetic, centrosymmetric lattice multilayer SnSe2 can be efficiently activated by spin-orbit scattering introduced Se vacancies. Via vacancy scattering, conduction electrons with spin-momentum locked polarizations acquire out-of-plane magnetization components, effectively break chiral symmetry between two sublattices an monolayer when electron start precession strong built-in SOC field. The resulting spin separations are manifested quantum transport as concentrationand temperature-dependent crossovers from weak antilocalization (WAL) to localization (WL), distinctive relaxation mechanism Dyakonov-Perel type. Our study shows great potential twodimensional systems hidden-spin textures for spintronics.

متن کاملSpin-Orbit Coupling, Quantum Dots, and Qubits in Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
We derive an effective Hamiltonian that describes the dynamics of electrons in the conduction band of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) in the presence of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. We discuss in detail both the intrinsic and the Bychkov-Rashba spin-orbit coupling induced by an external electric field. We point out interesting differences in the spin-split condu...
متن کاملGraphene on transition-metal dichalcogenides: A platform for proximity spin-orbit physics and optospintronics
Hybrids of graphene and two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have the potential to bring graphene spintronics to the next level. As we show here by performing first-principles calculations of graphene on monolayer MoS2, there are several advantages of such hybrids over pristine graphene. First, Dirac electrons in graphene exhibit a giant global proximity spin-orbit coupling,...
متن کاملMetal Induced Growth of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides at Controlled Locations
Metal induced nucleation is adopted to achieve the growth of transition metal dichalcogenides at controlled locations. Ordered arrays of MoS2 and WS2 have successfully been fabricated on SiO2 substrates by using the patterned Pt/Ti dots as the nucleation sites. Uniform MoS2 monolayers with the adjustable size up to 50 μm are grown surrounding these metal patterns and the mobility of such layer ...

Manipulating spin polarization of electrons in nonmagnetic semiconductors by means of electric fields or optical fields is an essential theme of the conceptual nonmagnetic semiconductor-based spintronics. Here we experimentally demonstrate an electric method of detecting spin polarization in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) generated by circularly polarized optical pumping. The...
