Abstract

Monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been studied theoretically; they were expected to exhibit electric field- and magnetic field-dependent robust valley-selective interactions, which have been observed even at room temperature. Their direct band gap at monolayers offers a unique characteristic of coupling with spin degree of freedom, resulting in valley contrast and polarization, as observed in photoluminescence [

Notes

  1. 1.

    Here, for simplicity, the spin-orbit coupling—SOC was not included, and it does not change the transitions being direct or indirect. Its effect will be shown later.

  2. 2.

    For off-resonance excitation, there could also be a CPDE contribution, jCPDE, but for on-resonance excitation it would be much smaller in magnitude. Phenomenologically, both the CPGE and the CPDE can be related to the Berry curvature, as mentioned for graphene (Sects. 2.6 and 3.7).
