The semiconducting single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides have been identified as ideal materials for accessing and manipulating spin- and valley-quantum numbers due to a set of favorable optical selection rules in these materials.…
Monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides are two-dimensional direct-gap systems which host tightly-bound excitons with an internal degree of freedom corresponding to the valley of the constituting carriers. Strong…
Exploiting the valley degree of freedom to store and manipulate information provides a novel paradigm for future electronics. A monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) with broken inversion symmetry possesses two degenerate yet…
Weyl semimetals are playing a major role in condensed matter physics due to exotic topological properties, and their coexistence with ferromagnetism may lead to enhanced spin-related phenomena. Here, the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in…
Spin accumulation and spin transfer torques induced by Spin Hall Effect in bi-layer structures comprising ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials are theoretically investigated. The charge and spin diffusion equations taking into account…
We analyze magnetic phases of monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides that are two-valley materials with electron-electron interactions. The exchange inter-valley scattering makes two-valley systems less stable to the spin…
Using a semiclassical approach that simultaneously incorporates the spin Hall effect (SHE), spin diffusion, quantum well states, and interface spin-orbit coupling (SOC), we address the interplay of these mechanisms as the origin of the…
It has been shown that the spin Hall effect from heavy transition metals can generate sufficient spin-orbit torque and further produce current-induced magnetization switching in the adjacent ferromagnetic layer. However, if the…
Valleytronics is rapidly emerging as an exciting area of basic and applied research. In two dimensional systems, valley polarisation can dramatically modify physical properties through electron-electron interactions as demonstrated by such…
Recent discoveries regarding current-induced spin-orbit torques produced by heavy-metal/ferromagnet and topological-insulator/ferromagnet bilayers provide the potential for dramatically-improved efficiency in the manipulation of magnetic…
Monolayer (ML) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been attracting great research attentions lately for their extraordinary properties, in particular the exotic spin-valley coupled electronic structures that promise future…
An outstanding feature of topological quantum materials is their novel spin topology in the electronic band structures with an expected large charge-to-spin conversion efficiency. Here, we report a charge current-induced spin polarization…
The electron-hole exchange interaction is a fundamental mechanism that drives valley depolarization via intervalley exciton hopping in semiconductor multi-valley systems. Here, we report polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy…
Lateral-hetero structures of atomic layered materials alter the electronic properties of pristine crystals and provide a possibility to produce useful monolayer materials. We reveal that metal-semiconductor-metal lateral-hetero junctions of…
We investigate interlayer tunneling in heterostructures consisting of two tungsten diselenide (WSe2) monolayers with controlled rotational alignment, and separated by hexagonal boron nitride. In samples where the two WSe2 monolayers are…
Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides possess a pair of degenerate helical valleys in the band structure that exhibit fascinating optical valley polarization. Optical valley polarization, however, is limited by carrier lifetimes of…
Strong magnetic fields profoundly affect the quantum physics of charged particles, as seen for example by the integer and fractionally quantized Hall effects, and the fractal `Hofstadter butterfly' spectrum of electrons in the presence of a…
We report on a possible optical tuning of the spin Hall conductivity in mono-layer transition metal dichalcogenides. Light beams of frequencies much higher than the energy scale of the system (the \textit{off-resonant} condition) does not…
In solid, the crystalline structure can endow electron an internal degree of freedom known as valley, which characterizes the degenerate energy minima in momentum space. The recent success in optical pumping of valley polarization in 2D…
The spin Hall effect in nonmagnetic materials has been intensively studied and became one of the most crucial spin-charge conversion mechanism in spintronics. However, the spin Hall effect in ferromagnetic metals has been less investigated…
