Inverted valley polarization in optically excited transition metal dichalcogenides

In atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides, spin- and valley-polarised states can be addressed thanks to large spin–orbit coupling and circular dichroism. Here, the authors investigate theoretically and experimentally the decay dynamics of spin and valley polarisation in transition metal di...

description In atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides, spin- and valley-polarised states can be addressed thanks to large spin–orbit coupling and circular dichroism. Here, the authors investigate theoretically and experimentally the decay dynamics of spin and valley polarisation in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers.
