We present here the minimal tight--binding model for a single layer of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) MX$_{2}$ (M--metal, X--chalcogen) which illuminates the physics and captures band nesting, massive Dirac Fermions and Valley…
Increasing the speed limits of conventional electronics requires innovative approaches to manipulate other quantum properties of electrons besides their charge. An alternative approach utilizes the valley degree of freedom in…
External fields are a powerful tool to probe optical excitations in a material. The linear energy shift of an excitation in a magnetic field is quantified by its effective g-factor. Here we show how exciton g-factors and their sign can be…
The helical Dirac fermions on the surface of topological insulators host novel relativistic quantum phenomena in solids. Manipulating spins of topological surface state (TSS) represents an essential step towards exploring the theoretically…
We report low temperature magnetotransport measurements on a high mobility (\mu=325,000 cm^2/V sec) 2D electron system on a H-terminated Si(111) surface. While low magnetic field data indicate a six-fold valley degenerate system, we observe…
Inspired by the profound physical connotations and potential application prospects of the valleytronics, we design a two-dimensional (2D) WS2/h-VN magnetic van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure and study the control of valley degree of…
In graphene on transition metal dichalcogenides, proximity-induced Rashba and spin-valley Zeeman SOCs can coexist that modify graphene's electronic band differently. Here, we show that the Landau levels (LLs) are also affected by these SOCs…
We have realized an AlAs two-dimensional electron system in which electrons occupy conduction-band valleys with different Fermi contours and effective masses. In the quantum Hall regime, we observe both resistivity spikes and persistent…
Electron valleys in transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers drive novel physics and allow designing multifunctional architectures for applications. We propose to manipulate the electron valleys in these systems for spin/valley filter and…
We investigate the spin-valley physics (SVP) in MoSe$_2$/WSe$_2$ heterobilayers under external electric field (EF) and changes of the interlayer distance (ID). We analyze the spin ($S_z$) and orbital ($L_z$) degrees of freedom, and the…
The band structure of many semiconducting monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possesses two degenerate valleys, with equal and opposite Berry curvature. It has been predicted that, when illuminated with circularly polarized…
We present here a formalism based on time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) to describe characteristics of both intra- and inter-valley excitons in semiconductors, the latter of which had remained a challenge. Through the usage of…
In the presence of spin-orbit coupling two branches of the energy spectrum of 2D electrons get shifted in the momentum space. Application of in-plane magnetic field causes the splitting of the branches in energy. When both, spin-orbit…
We investigate the influence of Landau Levels (LLs) and Zeeman energy, induced by an applied magnetic field ${\bf B}$, on the critical temperature $T_c$ for two-dimensional (2D) ultraclean metals using a fully quantum mechanical approach…
We introduce a new approach for the correlation energy of one- and two-valley two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) systems. Our approach is based on a random phase approximation at high densities and a classical approach at low densities,…
Transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit giant spin-orbit coupling, and intriguing spin-valley effects, which can be harnessed through proximity in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. Remarkably, due to the prismatic crystal field, the…
Local energy extrema of the bands in momentum space, or valleys, can endow electrons in solids with pseudo-spin in addition to real spin. In transition metal dichalcogenides this valley pseudo-spin, like real spin, is associated with a…
Bloch states of electrons in honeycomb two-dimensional crystals with multi-valley band structure and broken inversion symmetry have orbital magnetic moments of a topological nature. In crystals with two degenerate valleys, a perpendicular…
Circular polarization resolved magneto-infrared studies of multilayer epitaxial graphene (MEG) are performed using tunable quantum cascade lasers in high magnetic fields up to 17.5 T. Landau level (LL) transitions in the monolayer and…
