spin/valley Hall effect from the mirror symmetry breaking in monolayer MoS2

ORAL

Abstract

For a 1H phase monolayer MoS2, we calculate the Berry curvature, which generates the intrinsic spin/valley Hall effect in the material. By using the kp perturbation theory, we investigate the effect of the mirror symmetry breaking on the monolayer MoS2 where the degree of the symmetry breaking can be controlled by a gate voltage. We show that the Berry curvature depends significantly on the gate voltage and this dependence arises from the spin-momentum coupling in the symmetry broken environment. We calculate the spin/valley Hall conductivity which can explain recent experimental results. We also extend this analysis to a bilayer MoS2.
