Thickness dependence of spin polarization and electronic structure of ultra-thin films of MoS2 and related transition-metal dichalcogenides

We have carried out thickness dependent first-principles electronic structure calculations on ultra-thin films of transition-metal dichalcogenides MX2 (M = Mo or W; X = S, Se, or Te). When spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is included in the computations, monolayer MX2 thin films display spin-split states a...
