Electronic structure, spin--orbit coupling, and interlayer interaction in bulk MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$
/ Authors
/ Abstract
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments reveal that the valence band splitting at $K$ point in transition metal dichalcogenides is primarily due to the spin-orbit coupling rather than inter-layer interactions. The authors have achieved convincing agreement between experimental results and theoretical calculations over a wide energy range.
