Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers in an ultrashort optical pulse: Femtosecond currents and anisotropic electron dynamics

Journal Article Oliaei Motlagh, S. Azar ; Apalkov, Vadym ; Stockman, Mark I. - Physical Review. B

We theoretically study the interaction of an ultrafast intense linearly polarized optical pulse with monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Such a strong pulse redistributes electrons between the bands and generates femtosecond currents during the pulse. Due to the large bandwidth of the incident pulse, this process is completely an off-resonant. While in TMDCs, the time-reversal symmetry is conserved, the inversion symmetry is broken, and these monolayers have axial symmetry along the armchair direction but not along with the zigzag one. The pulse, polarized along with asymmetric directions of TMDC monolayer, generates both longitudinal, i.e., along the direction of polarization,more »« less

Giant Valley Splitting and Valley Polarized Plasmonics in Group V Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide Monolayers

Journal Article Zhou, Jian ; Jena, Puru - Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

Two-dimensional group VI transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provide a promising platform to encode and manipulate quantum information in the valleytronics. However, the two valleys are energetically degenerate, protected by time-reversal symmetry (TRS). To lift this degeneracy, one needs to break the TRS by either applying an external magnetic field or using a magnetic rare-earth oxide substrate. Here, we predict a different strategy to achieve this goal. We propose that the ferromagnetic group V TMD monolayer, in which the TRS is intrinsically broken, can produce a larger valley and spin splitting. A polarized ZnS(0001) surface is also used as a substrate, whichmore »« less

Screening effects due to carrier doping on valley relaxation in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers

Journal Article Konabe, Satoru - Applied Physics Letters

This work theoretically investigated the mechanism of valley polarization relaxation in monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides, focusing on the exchange interactions between electrons and holes. In particular, we elucidated the effects of screening resulting from carrier doping on valley depolarization dynamics. The results show that the valley relaxation time is highly dependent on the extent of carrier doping. In addition, a finite degree of doping is predicted to induce additional valley relaxation temperature dependence at low temperatures, an effect that is absent at zero doping. Our calculation results suggest the possibility of increasing the valley relaxation time by tuning carriermore »« less
