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.

Electrically tunable excitonic light-emitting diodes based on monolayer WSe2 p-n junctions.

TL;DR: Electroluminescence from lateral p-n junctions in monolayer WSe2 induced electrostatically using a thin boron nitride support as a dielectric layer with multiple metal gates beneath is reported, which has the required ingredients for new types of optoelectronic device, such as spin- and valley-polarized light-emitting diodes, on-chip lasers and two-dimensional electro-optic modulators.

Janus Monolayer Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides

TL;DR: High basal plane hydrogen evolution reaction activity is discovered for the Janus monolayer, and DFT calculation implies that the activity originates from the synergistic effect of the intrinsic defects and structural strain inherent in theJanus structure.

Manipulating Spin–Orbit Interaction in Semiconductors

TL;DR: In this article, the spin-orbit interaction (SOI), where the orbital motion of electrons is coupled with the orientation of electron spins, originates from a relativistic effect.
