(a, b) The electronic band structures of WSe2 obtained by setting the interlayer coupling to zero (a) or the atomic SOC (b) to zero. (c) The hidden polarizations along z of the lower layer of the highest-energy valence bands at K versus atomic SOC. The fully polarized values are and . The vertical dash-dotted line shows the physical value of the atomic spin–orbit coupling of W atoms. (d) The same quantity as in (d), but with the interlayer distance reduced to 85% of the actual value.
