Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations of high mobility holes in monolayer and bilayer WSe: Landau level degeneracy, effective mass, and negative compressibility

arXiv:1602.01073 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.086601

Abstract

We study the magnetotransport properties of high mobility holes in monolayer and bilayer WSe, which display well defined Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations, and quantum Hall states (QHSs) in high magnetic fields. In both mono and bilayer WSe, the SdH oscillations and the QHSs occur predominantly at even filling factors, evincing a two-fold Landau level degeneracy. The Fourier transform analysis of the SdH oscillations in bilayer WSe reveal the presence of two subbands localized in the top or the bottom layer, as well as negative compressibility. From the temperature dependence of the SdH oscillations we determine a hole effective mass of for both mono and bilayer WSe.
