Doping 2D materials is an effective way to engineer a wide range of properties of interest from catalysis to quantum bits. Here, the authors investigate Br-doped 2H-MoTe2 using electron spin resonance and scanning tunneling spectroscopy, demonstrating that the dopant-orbitals hybridise to the Q-valleys of the conduction band and produce long-lived spin states protected by spin-valley locking.
