Abstract

Intrinsic electron spin relaxation due to the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism is studied in monolayer Molybdenum Disulphide. An intervalley in-plane spin relaxation channel is revealed due to the opposite effective magnetic fields perpendicular to the monolayer Molybdenum Disulphide plane in the two valleys together with the intervalley electron-phonon scattering. The intervalley electron-phonon scattering is always in the weak scattering limit, which leads to a rapid decrease of the in-plane spin relaxation time with increasing temperature: A decrease of the in-plane spin relaxation time with the increase of the electron density is also shown.
