Hall effects in monolayer MoS2 with spin-orbit coupling under the shining of a circularly polarized light
Abstract
In this paper, we study Hall effects of the monolayer MoS2 with Rashba and Ising spin-orbit coupling (SOC) under the application of a circularly polarized light. The Chern number and spin textures at high frequency regime are studied based on the Floquet theory. We found that the SOCs induced valley Hall effect. The sign of Chern numbers at high frequency regime can be reversed by engineering interplay between Ising SOC and light intensity. The system undergoes a topological phase transition from valley Hall state to anomalous Hall state. By analyzing the spin texture, we study the origin of the Hall effects.
