Having multiple valleys gives the electron states pseudospin\ndegrees of freedom in addition to their real spin. In this talk\, I\nwill discuss our experi mental progress on the investigation of spins\nand pseudospins using atomi cally thin semiconductors\, which are either\nsingle or bilayer group VI t ransition metal dichalcogenides.\n DTSTAMP:20250523T063545Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
