The impact of valley profile on the mobility and Kerr rotation of transition metal dichalcogenides
arxiv(2022)
摘要
The transport and optical properties of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides around room temperature are dictated by electron-phonon scattering mechanisms within a complex, spin-textured and multi-valley electronic landscape. The relative positions of the valleys are critical, yet they are sensitive to external parameters and very difficult to determine directly. We propose a first-principle model as a function valley positions to calculate carrier mobility and Kerr rotation angles. The model brings valuable insights, as well as quantitative predictions of macroscopic properties for a wide range of carrier density. The doping-dependant mobility displays a characteristic peak, the height depending on the position of the valleys. The Kerr rotation signal is enhanced when same spin-valleys are aligned, and quenched when opposite spin-valleys are populated. We provide guidelines to optimize these quantities with respect to experimental parameters, as well as the theoretical support for \emph{in situ} characterization of the valley positions.
