Interfacial ferroelectricity in rhombohedral-stacked bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides

Xirui Wang et al.

Summary: By stacking non-equilibrium configurations of van der Waals materials, we have successfully fabricated nanometer-thick 2D ferroelectric semiconductors. We discovered electrically switchable rhombohedral-stacking configurations by parallel stacking two identical monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), with out-of-plane polarization that can be flipped by in-plane sliding motion. The ferroelectric domains were visualized using piezoelectric force microscopy.

Shaozheng Ji et al.

Summary: Subtle changes in stacking order of layered transition metal dichalcogenides can have a profound impact on their electronic and optical properties. Exciting a shear phonon through optical excitation in Td-WTe2 can lead to the formation of a new stacking order by layer displacement, demonstrating the importance of both short- and long-range interactions in manipulating the stacking order in 2-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides.

Xiaonan Ma et al.

Summary: Vertical ferroelectricity in layered semiconducting beta-ZrI2 is confirmed to be robust upon interlayer sliding, primarily attributed to asymmetric shifts of electronic charges within a trilayer. The study further predicts a stable charged domain wall that can enhance electron mobility and electromechanical response in multifunctional devices. These findings provide insights for the development of slidetronics ferroelectricity.

Giant exciton-enhanced shift currents and direct current conduction with subbandgap photo excitations produced by many-electron interactions

Yang-Hao Chan et al.

Summary: Shift current, generated from nonlinear light-matter interaction in noncentrosymmetric crystals, is considered a promising candidate for next-generation photovoltaic devices. The mechanism for shift currents in real materials, especially with electron-hole interactions, is still not well understood. Using first-principles interacting Green's-function approach, this study investigates photocurrents in real materials under continuous wave illumination, showing strong shift currents in monolayer GeS at subbandgap excitation frequencies due to bound excitons, and giant excitonic enhancement in the shift current coefficients at above bandgap photon frequencies. This suggests that atomically thin two-dimensional materials may be promising for next-generation shift current devices.

Exciton effect on shift current in single-walled boron-nitride nanotubes

Satoru Konabe

Summary: This study investigates the exciton effect on the shift current in single-walled boron-nitride nanotubes using effective mass theory combined with the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The findings indicate that the shift current is enhanced by the exciton effect compared to free electron-hole pairs, and that the direction of the shift current is determined by the chiral index of the nanotube even in the presence of excitons. A simple explanation is provided on why the chiral index determines the direction of the shift current from a bond structure viewpoint via the Rice-Mele model.
