Multi-orbital physics of edge-magnetism in a Hubbard model of transition-metal dichalcogenide nanoribbons: Comparing Mean Field Theory and Determinant Quantum Monte Carlo

We study the emergence of edge-magnetism in zigzag nanoribbons from electron-electron interactions in a minimal 3-band tight-binding descrip¬tion of transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers with an intra-orbital Hub¬bard term. We explain the influence of each orbital in the magnetic ordering, comp...
