Spin-Orbit mediated spin relaxation in monolayer MoS2

Abstract

We study the intra-valley spin-orbit mediated spin relaxation in monolayers of MoS2 within a two bands effective Hamiltonian. The intrinsic spin splitting of the valence band as well as a Rashba-like coupling due to the breaking of the out-of-plane inversion symmetry are considered. We show that, in the hole doped regime, the out-of-plane spin relaxation is not very efficient since the spin splitting of the valence band tends to stabilize the spin polarization in this direction. We obtain spin lifetimes larger than nanoseconds, in agreement with recent valley polarization experiments.
