Enhancement of electron magnetic susceptibility due to many-body interactions in monolayer MoSe2

Abstract

Employing the original, all-optical method, we quantify the magnetic susceptibility of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) confined in the MoSe2 monolayer in the range of low and moderate carrier densities. The impact of electron–electron interactions on the 2DEG magnetic susceptibility is found to be particularly strong in the limit of, studied in detail, low carrier densities. Following the existing models, we derive the value of for the bare (in the absence of the interaction effects) g-factor of the ground state electronic band in the MoSe2 monolayer. The derived value of this parameter is discussed in the context of estimations from other experimental approaches. Surprisingly, the conclusions drawn differ from theoretical ab initio studies.
