(Color Online) Orbital resolved MAE matrix for X and nearest W atoms. Contribution of two unquenched orbital operators |L_z| and |L_x| in Dopped (a, c) and Adsorbed (b, d) WSSe-X system. (a) and (b) \(<d_x\vert Lz\vert d_{x^{\mathit2}-y^{\mathit2}}>\!\!/\) (c) and (d) < d_z²|L_x|d_{xz, yz}>. The blue dashed line represents a zero MAE value. Note that for both |L_z| and |L_x| operators, positive/negative sign contribution stabilizes the easy axis along the c-axis/a-b plane.
