Spin relaxation and the Kondo effect in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers
arXiv:1608.00506 · doi:10.1088/0953-8984/28/50/505002
Abstract
We investigate the spin relaxation and Kondo resistivity caused by magnetic impurities in doped transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers. We show that momentum and spin relaxation times due to the exchange interaction by magnetic impurities, are much longer when the Fermi level is inside the spin split region of the valence band. In contrast to the spin relaxation, we find that the dependence of Kondo temperature on the doping is not strongly affected by the spin-orbit induced splitting, although only one of the spin species are present at each valley. This result, which is obtained using both perturbation theory and poor man's scaling methods, originates from the intervalley spin-flip scattering in the spin-split region. We further demonstrate the decline in the conductivity with temperatures close to which can vary with the doping. Our findings reveal the qualitative difference with the Kondo physics in conventional metallic systems and other Dirac materials.
