Valley polarization assisted spin polarization in two dimensions
Valleytronics is rapidly emerging as an exciting area of basic and applied research. In two-dimensional systems, valley polarization can dramatically modify physical properties through electron-electron interactions as demonstrated by such phenomena as the fractional quantum Hall effect and the metal-insulator transition. Here, we address the electrons' spin alignment in a magnetic field in sil...
متن کاملIntrinsic valley polarization of magnetic VSe2 monolayers.
Intrinsic valley polarization can be obtained in VSe2 monolayers with broken inversion symmetry and time reversal symmetry. First-principles investigations reveal that the magnitude of the valley splitting in magnetic VSe2 induced by spin-orbit coupling reaches as high as 78.2 meV and can be linearly tuned by biaxial strain. Besides conventional polarized light, hole doping or illumination with...
متن کاملNonequilibrium valley polarization in graphene nanoconstrictions
We recently shown, using tight-binding calculations, that nonequilibrium valley polarization can be realized in graphene, when the current is injected through ”valley filter”: a ballistic point contact with zigzag edges. Here we demonstrate, that the effect is surprisingly robust against changing the crystallographic orientation of the filter axis. Namely, the output current remains polarized u...
متن کاملDetection of valley polarization in graphene by a superconducting contact.
Because the valleys in the band structure of graphene are related by time-reversal symmetry, electrons from one valley are reflected as holes from the other valley at the junction with a superconductor. We show how this Andreev reflection can be used to detect the valley polarization of edge states produced by a magnetic field. In the absence of intervalley relaxation, the conductance GNS=(2e2/...
متن کاملAnomalous temperature-dependent spin-valley polarization in monolayer WS2
Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are direct gap semiconductors with nondegenerate valley indices. An intriguing possibility for these materials is the use of their valley index as an alternate state variable. Several limitations to such a utility include strong intervalley scattering, as well as multiparticle interactions leading to multiple emission channels. We prepare...
