Interactions and magnetotransport through spin-valley coupled Landau levels in monolayer MoS$_{2}$ (1806.06402v2)

Published 17 Jun 2018 in cond-mat.mes-hall

Abstract: The strong spin-orbit coupling and the broken inversion symmetry in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) results in spin-valley coupled band structures. Such a band structure leads to novel applications in the fields of electronics and optoelectronics. Density functional theory calculations as well as optical experiments have focused on spin-valley coupling in the valence band. Here we present magnetotransport experiments on high-quality n-type monolayer molybdenum disulphide (MoS${2}$) samples, displaying highly resolved Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations at magnetic fields as low as $2~T$. We find the effective mass $0.7~m{e}$, about twice as large as theoretically predicted and almost independent of magnetic field and carrier density. We further detect the occupation of the second spin-orbit split band at an energy of about $15~meV$, i.e. about a factor $5$ larger than predicted. In addition, we demonstrate an intricate Landau level spectrum arising from a complex interplay between a density-dependent Zeeman splitting and spin and valley-split Landau levels. These observations, enabled by the high electronic quality of our samples, testify to the importance of interaction effects in the conduction band of monolayer MoS$_{2}$.
