We present an accurate \textit{ab-initio} tight-binding hamiltonian for the transition-metal dichalcogenides, MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$, WSe$_2$, with a minimal basis (the \textit{d} orbitals for the metal atoms and \textit{p} orbitals for…

Localization of charge carriers in monolayers (MLs) of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) dramatically increases spin and valley coherence times, and, by analogy with other systems, the role of the hyperfine interaction should enhance.…
