    The control and manipulation of the valley and spin degrees of freedom have received great interests in fundamental studies and advanced information technologies. Compared with magnetic means, it is highly desirable to realize more energy-efficient electric control of valley and spin. Using the first-principles calculations, we demonstrate tunable valley and spin degeneracy splittings in VSi2N4\rm VSi_2N_4 bilayers, with the aid of the layered structure and associated electric control. Depending on different interlayer magnetic couplings and stacking orders, the VSi2N4\rm VSi_2N_4 bilayers exhibit a variety of combinations of valley and spin degeneracies. Under the action of a vertical electric field, the degeneracy splittings become highly tunable for both the sign and magnitude. As a result, a series of anomalous Hall currents can be selectively realized with varied indices of valley and spin. These intriguing features offer a practical way for designing energy-efficient devices based on the couplings between multiple electronic degrees of freedom.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure

    Rabi Spectroscopy of Super-Bloch Oscillations in Optical Lattice Clock

    Full text link
    Super-Bloch oscillations(SBOs) is giant Bloch oscillations (BOs) when applying both static and periodically driving force to free atoms in lattice at the condition that Bloch oscillations are close to integer times of driving frequencies. Rather than observe SBOs in real space, this paper presents a method to observe it using Rabi spectroscopy of Optical lattice clock(OLC). An effective model of OLC with atoms been added both static and time-periodical forces is derived. Based on that, we propose an experimental scheme and give the Rabi spectrum under lab achievable parameters. Utilizing the precision spectroscopy of OLC, force with a large range could be accurately measured by measuring the Period of SBOs. We also gave the best parameter condition of measuring gravity by calculating Fisher information. Our work paves the way to study other exotic dynamics behaviors in Floquet driving OLC
