Valley Degree of Freedom in Two-Dimensional van der Waals Materials
arXiv:2109.01074 · doi:10.1088/1361-6463/ac5bc9
Abstract
Layered materials can possess valleys that are indistinguishable from one another except for the momentum. These valleys are individually addressable in momentum space at the K and K' points in the first Brillouin zone. Such valley addressability opens up the possibility of utilizing the momentum state of quasi-particles as a completely new paradigm in quantum and classical information processing. This review focuses on the physics behind valley polarization and talks about carriers of valley degree of freedom (VDF) in layered materials. Then we provide a detailed survey of simple spectroscopic techniques commonly utilized to identify and manipulate valley polarization in van der Waals layered materials. Finally, we conclude with the recent developments towards the manipulation of VDF for device application and associated challenges.
