TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that spin polarization can also be achieved without the need for magnetism by using the unique crystal symmetry of tungsten selenide, which creates a Zeeman-like effect when a monolayer of the material is exposed to an external electric field.
Abstract
A magnetic field can lift the spin degeneracy of electrons. This Zeeman effect is an important route to generating the spin polarization required for spintronics. It is now shown that such polarization can also be achieved without the need for magnetism. The unique crystal symmetry of tungsten selenide creates a Zeeman-like effect when a monolayer of the material is exposed to an external electric field.

Isoelectronic Tungsten Doping in Monolayer MoSe2 for Carrier Type Modulation

TL;DR: P-type conduction in monolayer Mo1-x Wx Se2 appears to originate from the upshift of the valenceband maximum toward the Fermi level at highly localized "W-rich" regions in the lattice.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple

TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.
