Title: | Proximity-induced spin-orbit coupling in phosphorene on a WSe2 monolayer | Authors: | Milivojević, Marko Gmitra, Martin Kurpas, Marcin Štich, Ivan Fabian, Jaroslav |
Issue Date: | 15-Sep-2023 | Journal: | Physical Review B | Abstract: | We investigate, using first-principles methods and effective-model simulations, the spin-orbit coupling proximity effects in a bilayer heterostructure comprising phosphorene and WSe2 monolayers. We specifically analyze holes in phosphorene around the Γ point, at which we find a significant increase of the spin-orbit coupling that can be attributed to the strong hybridization of phosphorene with the WSe2 bands. We also propose an effective spin-orbit model based on the C1v symmetry of the studied heterostructure. The corresponding spin-orbit field can be divided into two parts: the in-plane field, present due to the broken nonsymmorphic horizontal glide mirror plane symmetry, and the dominant out-of-plane field triggered by breaking the out-of-plane rotational symmetry of the phosphorene monolayer. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that a heterostructure with 60∘ twist angle exhibits an opposite out-of-plane spin-orbit field, indicating that the coupling can effectively be tuned by twisting. The studied phosphorene/WSe2 bilayer is a prototypical low common-symmetry heterostructure in which the proximity effect can be used to engineer the spin texture of the desired material. |
