Spin–valley locking in the normal state of a transition-metal dichalcogenide superconductor
The origin of intertwined electronic orders in transition-metal dichalcogenides has long been debated. Here, Bawden et al. report that the normal state, from which these phases emerge, is unexpectedly spin-polarized, with spins locked to both valley and layer pseudospins.
