We present a symmetry analysis of electronic bandstructure including spin-orbit interaction close to the insulating gap edge in monolayer black phosphorus ('phosphorene'). Expressions for energy dispersion relation and spin-dependent…
The electronic structure of (group-III) metal-monochalcogenide monolayers exhibits many unusual features. Some, such as the unusually distorted upper valence band dispersion we describe as a 'caldera', are primarily the result of purely…
The direct bandgap found in hexagonal germanium and some of its alloys with silicon allows for an optically active material within the group-IV semiconductor family with various potential technological applications. However, there remain…
Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we investigate the intrinsic spin Hall effect in monolayers of group-VI transition-metal dichalcogenides MX2 (M = Mo, W and X = S, Se). MX2 monolayers are direct band-gap…
The valence flat bands in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers are shown to exhibit strong intralayer spin-orbit coupling. This is reflected in a simple tight-binding model with spin-dependent complex hoppings based on the…
Quantum systems in confined geometries are host to novel physical phenomena. Examples include quantum Hall systems in semiconductors and Dirac electrons in graphene. Interest in such systems has also been intensified by the recent discovery…
In order to discuss the exciton fine-structure of transition-metal dichalcogenides mono-layers, excitons are first defined in the subspace of electron- and hole states, including the lowest conduction band (LCB) and the uppermost valence…
The generalized tight-binding model is developed to investigate the rich and unique electronic properties of AB-bt (bottom-top) bilayer silicene under uniform perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. The first pair of conduction and…
Band structure determines the motion of electrons in a solid, giving rise to exotic phenomena when properly engineered. Drawing an analogy between electrons and photons, artificially designed optical lattices indicate the possibility of a…
The theory of inter-spin-subband electric dipole spin resonance in transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers is proposed. Our symmetry analysis demonstrates that, in contrast to monolayers, the reduced symmetry of heterobilayers…
Several IV-VI semiconductor compounds made of heavy atoms, such as Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$Te, may undergo band-inversion at the $L$ point of the Brillouin zone upon variation of their chemical composition. This inversion gives rise to…
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures consisting of bilayer graphene (BLG) encapsulated within monolayers of strong spin-orbit semiconductor WS$_2$ or ferromagnetic semiconductor Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$ (CGT), are investigated. By performing…
We investigate the many-body instabilities of electrons interacting near Van Hove singularities arising in monolayer and twisted bilayer graphene. We show that a pairing instability must be dominant over the tendency to magnetic order as…
Orbital Hall effect (OHE) is the phenomenon of transverse flow of orbital moment in presence of an applied electric field. Solids with broken inversion symmetry are expected to exhibit a strong OHE due to the presence of an intrinsic…
In this paper, the electrical and spin properties of mono- and bilayer HfSSe in the presence of a vertical electric field are studied. The density functional theory is used to investigate their properties. Fifteen different stacking orders…
We study the spin exchange between two electrons localized in separate quantum dots in graphene. The electronic states in the conduction band are coupled indirectly by tunneling to a common continuum of delocalized states in the valence…
We show that inversion symmetry breaking together with spin-orbit coupling leads to coupled spin and valley physics in monolayers of MoS2 and other group-VI dichalcogenides, making possible controls of spin and valley in these 2D materials.…
The conductance, the transmission and the reflection probabilities through rectangular potential barriers and pn-junctions are obtained for bilayer graphene taking into account the four bands of the energy spectrum. We have evaluated the…
All of 320 layer groups, distributed into 80 clusters - single/double ordinary/gray groups - are used to complete systematization of linear (in all directions) band crossings and corresponding effective Hamiltonians in high-symmetry…
We study the electronic band structure in the K/K' valleys of the Brillouin zone of monolayer WSe2 and MoSe2 by optical reflection and photoluminescence spectroscopy on dual-gated field-effect devices. Our experiment reveals the distinct…
