The authors investigate spin-valley polarization in hybrid systems of Au nanoparticles and monolayer MoS2 and observe a nearly complete quenching of the far-field circular polarization state of emission from MoS2 at the position of the nanoparticle. This highlights the need to consider an ensemble, rather than just a single rotating dipole emitter, for precise predictions of polarization responses in these hybrid systems.
