Tungsten is the heaviest transition metal in the family of common transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Despite the essential similarities of TMDCs, the considerable …

As an approximation to the quantum state of solids, the band theory, developed nearly
seven decades ago, fostered the advance of modern integrated solid‐state electronics, one …

The Zeeman effect, which is usually detrimental to superconductivity, can be strongly
protective when an effective Zeeman field from intrinsic spin-orbit coupling locks the spins of …

We presentk p· Hamiltonians parametrized byab initiodensity functional theory calculations
to describe the dispersion of the valence and conduction bands at their extrema (theK, Q, Γ …

Graphene is an excellent material for long-distance spin transport but allows little spin
manipulation. Transition-metal dichalcogenides imprint their strong spin–orbit coupling into …

We present a three-band tight-binding (TB) model for describing the low-energy physics in
monolayers of group-VIB transition metal dichalcogenides MX 2 (M= Mo, W; X= S, Se, Te) …

Atomically thin group-VIB transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently emerged
as a new class of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with extraordinary properties …

We study the conduction band spin splitting that arises in transition metal dichalcogenide
(TMD) semiconductor monolayers such as MoS 2, MoSe 2, WS 2, and WSe 2 due to the …

Valleys in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides seamlessly connect two basic
carriers of quantum information, namely, the electron spin and photon helicity. Lifting the …

We derive an effective Hamiltonian that describes the dynamics of electrons in the
conduction band of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) in the presence of …
