Robust spin-valley coupling in hexagonal monolayers of Tl-based monochalcogenides By comprehensive first-principles calculations, we predict that monolayer Tl-based monochalcogenides TlX (X = S, Se, Te) are a class of stable direct bandgap semiconductors with band edges lain at a pair of inequivalent valleys.

ATZ, an efficient and economical triazine herbicide, is widely used in agricultural fields such as corn and sugarcane to control weeds, thereby enhancing agricultural productivity and preventing economic losses[1]. However, the extensive use of ATZ has caused serious harm to environmental ecosystem, even at lower concentrations, because of its stable structure, strong persistence, poor biodegradability and long-term migration[2].
