Zeeman splitting via spin-valley-layer coupling in bilayer MoTe2

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides host a valley splitting in magnetic field analogous to the Zeeman effect. Here, the authors report that the Zeeman splitting still persists in bilayers of MoTe2 without lifting the valley degeneracy, due to spin–valley-layer coupling.
