g-factors in van der Waals heterostructures: revealing signatures of interlayer coupling — •Paulo E. Faria Junior — University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany

The interplay of the spin and the orbital angular momenta of electrons in semiconductors governs the observed Zeeman splitting, often described by the effective g-factors. In the realm of 2D materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are ideal candidates to explore the manifestation of coupled spin and orbital degrees of freedom under external magnetic fields. In this talk, I will cover the basic physics behind the Zeeman splitting and effective g-factors, emphasizing the recent first-principles developments in monolayer TMDCs that nicely reproduce the available experimental data. These new theoretical insights demystify the valley-Zeeman physics in TMDCs and finally establish a connection to the vast existing knowledge in the area of III-V materials. Beyond monolayers, I will discuss TMDC-based van der Waals heterostructures, particularly MoSe2/WSe2 and WS2/graphene systems, in which the spin-valley physics and g-factors encode valuable information about the interlayer coupling.
