Abstract
The k.p Hamiltonian model at low-energy regime and Green’s function technique are carried out to study the effect of Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) on the spin-dependent thermodynamic properties in monolayer molybdenum disulphide. In particular, we have studied electronic band structure (EBS), electronic heat capacity (EHC), and magnetic susceptibility (MS) of spin-up and spin-down subbands by variation of RSOC strength. An enhancement of the spin splitting can be achieved by increasing the Rashba coupling strength. Electronic subband structure shows that the effective mass of carriers decreases with Rashba coupling while the spin-up and spin-down subband gaps remain constant. The reduced effective mass leads to the increase of both EHC and MS as reasonable results. Spin splitting can be also obtained from the EHC and MS findings. At very strong Rashba couplings, two Dirac-like points appear for spin-up subbands which we can claim that the system gets a new quantum anomalous Hall phase.
