In two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, valley and spin degrees of freedom couple with each other reflecting the inversion symmetry breaking of the lattice and strong spin-orbit interaction. In such a system, it is expected that we can control the spin degree of freedom through valley manipulation and vice-versa. In this presentation, I will report the recent our progress on the study of characteristic valley-spin properties in two dimensional van der Waals nanostructures. I will also discuss the microscopic mechanism and perspectives.
