Although single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides with novel valley functionalities are promising candidate to realize valleytronic devices, the essential understanding of valley depolarization mechanisms is still incomplete. Based on…
While valleys (energy extrema) are present in all band structures of solids, their preeminent role in determining exciton resonances and dynamics in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) is unique. Using two-dimensional…
Together with charge and spin degrees of freedom, many new 2D materials also permit information to be encoded in an electron's valley degree of freedom - that is, in particular momentum states in the material's Brillouin zone. With a view…
