Optical orientation with linearly polarized light in transition metal dichalcogenides
arXiv:1811.04003 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.99.125405
Abstract
We study the optical properties of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers under the influence of strong out-of-plane magnetic fields, using the effective massive Dirac model. We pay attention to the role of spin-orbit coupling effects, doping level and electron-electron interactions, treated at the Hartree-Fock level. We find that optically-induced valley and spin imbalance, commonly attained with circularly polarized light, can also be obtained with linearly polarized light in the doped regime. Additionally, we explore an exchange-driven mechanism to enhance the spin-orbit splitting of the conduction band, in n-doped systems, controlling both the carrier density and the intensity of the applied magnetic field.
