Layer photovoltaic effect in van der Waals heterostructures

We argue that the layer electric polarization of noncentrosymmetric layered heterostructures can be generically controlled by light yielding a layer photovoltaic effect (LPE). The LPE possesses a rich phenomenology and can arise from myriad distinct mechanisms displaying strong sensitivity to symmet...
