Control of Spin-Orbit Splitting in 2D Semiconductors
- Postdoctoral researcher Jyoti Katoch leads IRG-2 efforts using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) at the Advanced Light Source to investigate electronic band structures of novel 2D materials and heterostructures.
- Discovered the ability to tune the valence band spin-orbit splitting of monolayer WS2, a 2D semiconductor, using electron doping by potassium adatoms.
- Ultrasharp ARPES spectra* are obtained when 2D materials are placed on flat h-BN flakes instead of oxide substrates.
