Weak ferroelectric charge transfer in layer-asymmetric bilayers of 2D semiconductors

Abstract In bilayers of two-dimensional semiconductors with stacking arrangements which lack inversion symmetry charge transfer between the layers due to layer-asymmetric interband hybridisation can generate a potential difference between the layers. We analyse bilayers of transition metal dichalcog...
