Confinement in a magnetically induced WSe$_2$ quantum dots

Monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe$_2$) has become a suitable platform for quantum transport and spintronics and valleytronics applications because it possesses an intrinsic band gap and strong spin-orbit coupling and spin-valley coupling features. The electrostatic confinement of Dirac fermions proves challenging in graphene because of Klein tunneling, yet WSe$_2$ provides an environment that supports both carrier localization and the development of confined quantum states. In this work, we theoretically investigate the confinement of massive Dirac fermions in a WSe$_2$ quantum dot generated by a localized magnetic field. Using the effective Dirac Hamiltonian in the presence of a magnetic flux, we derive the exact wave functions and scattering coefficients by employing Kummer's confluent hypergeometric functions together with Bessel and Hankel functions. Our results show that the localized magnetic field provides an efficient mechanism to suppress Klein tunneling and promote the formation of stable quasibound states. We systematically examine the scattering efficiency and carrier density distributions as functions of the incident energy, magnetic field strength, and quantum dot radius. We find that low-energy carriers are strongly confined by the magnetic barrier, while the interplay between magnetic localization and geometric confinement gives rise to sharp and tunable resonance peaks. These results provide valuable insight into the control of spin-valley transport in transition metal dichalcogenide nanostructures and establish a theoretical basis for the development of quantum confinement devices and quantum information technologies.
