| contents | Valley coherence is of great significance for exploring fundamental quantum phenomena and developing next-generation valleytronic devices. Herein, we theoretically investigate the valley quantum interference engineered by inter-Landau level (LL) transitions in black phosphorus (BP) and WTe2 monolayers. In contrast to the non-Landau-quantized regime, valley quantum interference is enhanced by over 20-fold, or even significantly stronger, in virtue of striking anisotropic environment. Such anisotropy originates from the distinct electron transition probabilities along the armchair and zigzag directions of BP and WTe2 monolayers. Especially, BP is capable of more effectively strengthening the valley quantum interference response due to its greater directional disparity in electron transition probabilities. The interference fringes also present distinct spectral profiles (e.g., different dip and peak numbers in one interference period) owing to different transition selection rules in BP and WTe2 monolayers. In spite of these discrepancies, normalized interference intensities follow two exponential functions of magnetic field and Landau level index for all the transitions δn = n'- n = -4, -2, 0, +2, +4 (where n and n' indicate the LL indexes of valence and conduction bands, respectively), and the interference spectra exhibit C2 rotational symmetry about the crystallographic azimuthal angle of 90°. |
