Valley-optical absorption in planar transition metal dichalcogenide superlattices by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Rezaei, B., Liu, Zheng

“…Moreover, the role of incident light angle and light polarization were studied in details at different valleys of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The most important finding is that by changing the polarization of incident light, it is possible to increase the absorption coefficients of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] valleys by up to 30 times. …”
