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.read more

Valley Degree of Freedom in Two-Dimensional van der Waals Materials
Ashish Soni,Suman Kalyan Pal +1 more
Abstract: Layered materials can possess valleys that are indistinguishable from one another except for the momentum. These valleys are individually addressable in momentum space at the K and K' points in the first Brillouin zone. Such valley addressability opens up the possibility of utilizing the momentum state of quasi-particles as a completely new paradigm in quantum and classical information processing. This review focuses on the physics behind valley polarization and talks about carriers of valley degree of freedom (VDF) in layered materials. Then we provide a detailed survey of simple spectroscopic techniques commonly utilized to identify and manipulate valley polarization in van der Waals layered materials. Finally, we conclude with the recent developments towards the manipulation of VDF for device application and associated challenges.
