摘要:

过渡金属二硫属化物(TMDC)的能带结构具有在动量空间中的不同位置处的价带边缘,可以利用该能带结构来构建依赖于谷自由度操作的器件。为了实现这样的谷电子器件,有必要控制和操纵这些谷中的电荷密度,从而导致谷极化。虽然这已经使用光学激发来证明,但是在没有光学激发的电子器件中谷偏振的产生仍然是困难的。在这里,我们展示了自旋注入从铁磁电极到异质结的基础上的单层的WSe2和MoS2和横向运输的自旋极化空穴内的WSe2层。由此产生的谷偏振导致圆偏振光发射,其可以使用外部磁场来调谐。自旋注入和谷极化的磁电控制的演示提供了一个新的机会,实现组合的自旋和谷电子器件的基础上自旋谷锁定在半导体TMDC。

英文摘要:

The band structure of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with valence band edges at different locations in the momentum space could be harnessed to build devices that operate relying on the valley degree of freedom. To realize such valleytronic devices, it is necessary to control and manipulate the charge density in these valleys, resulting in valley polarization. While this has been demonstrated using optical excitation, generation of valley polarization in electronic devices without optical excitation remains difficult. Here, we demonstrate spin injection from a ferromagnetic electrode into a heterojunction based on monolayers of WSe2 and MoS2 and lateral transport of spin-polarized holes within the WSe2 layer. The resulting valley polarization leads to circularly polarized light emission which can be tuned using an external magnetic field. This demonstration of spin injection and magnetoelectronic control over valley polarization provides a new opportunity for realizing combined spin and valleytronic devices based on spin-valley locking in semiconducting TMDCs.
