It provides a detailed analysis of spin transport dynamics and magnetotransport properties in MoS₂/phosphorene heterostructures using density functional theory and Green's function methods.

## Key findings

- Spin transfer torque remains invariant with magnetization angle.
- Persistent polarized spin-current under external magnetic field.
- Quantum magnetotransport characteristics identified in heterostructure.

## Abstract

The time-dependent spin current mediated spin transfer torque behaviour has been investigated via scattering formalism within density functional theory framework supported by Green's function. Quantum magnetotransport characteristics have been revealed in a model semiconducting MoS$_2$/phosphorene van der Waals heterostructure. The dynamics of spin current channelized heterolayer transport has been studied with rotational variation in magnetization angle. It is observed that the time-dependent spin transport torque remains invariant irrespective of magnetization angle direction. The polarized spin-current is persistent with the external magnetic field for potential applicability towards spintronics.
