Enhanced Spin-Flip Scattering by Surface Roughness in WS${}_2$ and MoS${}_2$ Armchair Nanoribbons

Shoeib Babaee Touski, Rafael Roldán, Mahdi Pourfath +1

The band structures of single-layer MoS${}_2$ and WS${}_2$ present a coupling between spin and valley degrees of freedom that suppresses spin-flip scattering and spin dephasing. Here w…
