説明:
(abstract)The heterointerface created by stacking two nonpolar materials with different inversion and rotational symmetries has attracted much attention because of its unique nonlinear photovoltaic properties caused by spontaneous polarization from viewpoints of fundamental physics and potential applications, such as next-generation solar cells. The topological nonlinear photocurrent properties based on broken symmetries have been revealed from both experimental and theoretical approaches; however, the intriguing topological nonlinear photocurrent in systems with broken time-reversal (T-) symmetry in addition to spatial inversion (P-) symmetry has not been fully explored. Herein, we experimentally investigate the nonlinear photovoltaic responses in a van der Waals heterostructure consisting of a monolayer semiconductor and layered magnetic materials of MoS2/CrPS4 with a P- and T-symmetry broken system. As the shift current occurs along the direction of parallel to P-symmetry broken axis at the interface of MoS2/CrPS4, a spontaneous photocurrent is clearly observed. Moreover, we demonstrate that the spontaneous photocurrent drastically changes according to the magnetic phase of CrPS4 depending on the temperature and external magnetic field. The magnetic phase-dependent spontaneous nonlinear photocurrent provides an emerging platform for studying the nonlinear topological photoresponses in P- and T-symmetry broken systems and the potential application of magnetic controllable photovoltaic devices.
