Spin–layer locking effects in optical orientation of exciton spin in bilayer WSe2
Abstract
Monolayer and few-layer materials present interesting spin and pseudospin states. A study of the coupling between spin, valley and layer degrees of freedom in bilayer WSe2 reveals coherent superpositions of distinct valley configurations and suggests the possibility of electrical control of the spin states.
