Valence-Band Renormalization and Spin Splitting in a Monolayer WTe2/WSe2 Heterostructure — •Daiyu Geng, Natalie Lehmann, Jiabao Yang, and Niels Schröter — Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Weinberg 2, Halle (Saale), Germany

Monolayer WTe2 (1L-WTe2) hosts a variety of broken-symmetry phases, including a quantum spin Hall insulator, a topological excitonic insulator, and several intriguing spin-ordered states. The dielectric environment and charge-carrier density play crucial roles in the competition among these electronic phases. In this work, we investigate the band structure of 1L-WTe2 interfaced with semiconducting WSe2 using laser- and synchrotron-based micro-ARPES. We observe strong valence-band renormalization accompanied by pronounced spin splitting in 1L-WTe2. Additionally, multiple replica pockets emerging in the Fermi surface indicate a substantial moiré effect in this heterostructure.
