## Description

- description: 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.
