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.

Dichotomy of saddle points in energy bands of monolayer NbSe 2

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors theoretically show that two distinctive spin textures manifest themselves around saddle points in energy bands of monolayer layers under external gate potentials, and establish distinct effective Rashba Hamiltonians for each saddle point, realizing the unique spin textures depending on their momentum.
