Therefore, the exitance of edge states, which can carry the valley current, is anticipated. However, Z2 symmetry prevents the edge modes from existing. Since the Z2 topological invariant is zero when the gap is caused only the inversion symmetry breaking [65], thus the topology of the band structure is trivial and there are no edge states to carry the valley current when the chemical potential is located inside the energy gap. Therefore, we can ignore the valley Chern number in σxvy and thus the results are consistent with those results reported by Xiao el al.
The direct gap transition at the two degenerate valleys, together with this valley-contrasting selection rule, suggest that one can optically generate and detect valley polarizations in this class of materials. In many semiconductor structures, the circular polarization of luminescence from circularly polarized excitation originates from electron or hole spin polarization. But in monolayer MoS2 , the optical selection rule originates from orbital magnetic moments at K valley independent of electron spin.
Another approach which helps us to understand this effect is to calculate the optical conductivity around the K point of two kinds of light polarizations as σ± = s {σxKxs ± σxKys } which has been calculated by using the Dirac-like model [24, 30] and now, we modify that by using the modified-Dirac Hamiltonian. Our results [31] show that e[σ− ] is large and comparable in size for either spin up or down while e[σ+ ] is small in comparison. The valley around the K point can couple only to the left-handed light and this effect is washed up by increasing the frequency of the light and the result is in good agreement with recent experimental measurements [17].
