Journal ArticleDOI
Coupled spin and valley physics in monolayers of MoS2 and other group-VI dichalcogenides.
TL;DR: It is shown that inversion symmetry breaking together with spin-orbit coupling leads to coupled spin and valley physics in monolayers of MoS2 and other group-VI dichalcogenides, making possible controls ofspin and valley in these 2D materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Layer-dependent ferromagnetism in a van der Waals crystal down to the monolayer limit
Bevin Huang,Genevieve Clark,Efrén Navarro-Moratalla,Dahlia R. Klein,Ran Cheng,Kyle L. Seyler,Ding Zhong,E. R. Schmidgall,Michael A. McGuire,David Cobden,Wang Yao,Di Xiao,Pablo Jarillo-Herrero,Xiaodong Xu +13 more
TL;DR: Xu et al. as mentioned in this paper used magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy to show that monolayer chromium triiodide (CrI3) is an Ising ferromagnet with out-of-plane spin orientation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Valley polarization in MoS2 monolayers by optical pumping
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that optical pumping with circularly polarized light can achieve a valley polarization of 30% in pristine monolayer MoS(2), demonstrating the viability of optical valley control and valley-based electronic and optoelectronic applications in MoS (2) monolayers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin and pseudospins in layered transition metal dichalcogenides
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief review of both theoretical and experimental advances in this field and uncover the interplay between real spin and pseudospins in layered transition metal dichalcogenides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Valleytronics in 2D materials
John Schaibley,Hongyi Yu,Genevieve Clark,Pasqual Rivera,Jason Ross,Kyle L. Seyler,Wang Yao,Xiaodong Xu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the latest advances in valley-tronics have largely been enabled by the isolation of 2D materials (such as graphene and semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides) that host an easily accessible electronic valley degree of freedom, allowing for dynamic control.
