Cooperative orbital moments and edge magnetoresistance in monolayer WTe2

We argue that edge electrons in monolayer WTe2 can possess a “cooperative” orbital moment (COM) that critically impacts its edge magnetoresistance behavior. Arising from the cooperative action of both Rashba and Ising spin orbit coupling, COM quickly achieves large magnitudes (of order few Bohr magn...
