We theoretically propose a spin-dependent electronic transport mechanism in which the spin-unpolarized electron beam is split into different directions depending on spins at an atomic domain boundary in nonmagnetic material. Specifically, we calculate the electronic transmission across a boundary between the monolayer and bilayer of the transition-metal dichalcogenide, and demonstrate that up-spin and down-spin electrons entering the boundary are refracted and collimated to opposite directions. The phenomenon is attributed to the strong spin-orbit interaction, the trigonally warped Fermi surface, and the different crystal symmetries between the monolayer and bilayer systems. The spin-dependent refraction suggests a potential application for a spin splitter, which spatially separates up-spin and down-spin electrons simply by passing the electric current through the boundary.
