Circular-polarization-resolved magneto-infrared studies of multilayer epitaxial graphene (MEG) are performed using tunable quantum cascade lasers in high magnetic fields up to 17.5 T. Landau level (LL) transitions in the monolayer and bilayer graphene inclusions of MEG are resolved, and considerable electron-hole asymmetry is observed in the extracted electronic band structure. For monolayer graphene, a four-fold splitting of the = 0 to = 1 LL transition is evidenced and attributed to the lifting of the valley and spin degeneracy of the zeroth LL and the broken electron-hole symmetry. The magnetic field dependence of the splitting further reveals its possible mechanisms. The best fit to experimental data yields effective -factors, = 6.7 and = 4.8, for the valley and Zeeman splittings, respectively.

2D dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) offer an innovative pathway for advancing spintronic technologies, including the potential to exploit phenomena such as the valley Zeeman effect. However, the impact of magnetic ordering on the valley degeneracy breaking and on the enhancement of the optical transitions g-factors of these materials remains an open question. Here, a giant effective g-factors ranging between ≈-27 and -69 for the bound exciton at 4 K in vanadium-doped WSe monolayers, obtained through magneto-photoluminescence (PL) experiments is reported.

Control over and manipulation of valley physics ferrovalleytricity is highly desirable for advancing valleytronics. Current research focuses primarily on two-dimensional ferromagnetic systems, while antiferromagnetic counterparts are seldom explored. Here, we present a general mechanism for extending the ferrovalleytricity paradigm to antiferromagnetic lattices to achieve spin control over valley physics.

Extrinsic dilute magnetic semiconductors achieve magnetic functionality through tailored interaction between a semiconducting matrix and a non-magnetic dopant. The absence of intrinsic magnetic impurities makes this approach promising to investigate the newly emerging field of 2D dilute magnetic semiconductors. Here the first realization of an extrinsic 2D DMS in Pt-doped WS is demonstrated.

We study the effect of the pseudospin ferromagnetism with the aid of an electrically detected electron spin resonance in a wide AlAs quantum well containing a high quality two-dimensional electron system. Here, pseudospin emerges as a two-component degree of freedom, that labels degenerate energy minima in momentum space populated by electrons. The built-in mechanical strain in the sample studied imposes a finite "Zeeman" splitting between the pseudospin "up" and "down" states.

Magnetic 2D materials offer a promising platform for manipulating quantum states at the nanoscale. Recent studies have underscored the significant influence of 2D magnetic materials on the optical behaviors of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), revealing phenomena such as interlayer exciton-magnon interactions, magnetization-dependent valley polarization, and an enhanced Zeeman effect. However, the controlled manipulation of anisotropic optical properties in TMDs via magnetism remains challenging.
