Large spin splitting in the conduction band of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers

K. Kośmider, J. W. González, J. Fernández-Rossier

We study the conduction band spin splitting that arises in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductor monolayers such as MoS${}_2$, MoSe${}_2$, WS${}_2$ and WSe${}_2$ due to the c…
