摘要
The emergence of two-dimensional Dirac materials, particularly transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), has reinvigorated interest in valleytronics, which utilizes the electronic valley degree of freedom for information storage and processing. Here, we review the basic valley-dependent properties and their experimental demonstrations in single-layer semiconductor TMDs with an emphasis on the effects of band topology and light-valley interactions. We also provide a brief summary of the recent advances on controlling the valley degree of freedom in TMDs with light and other means for potential applications.
