Abstract

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are exemplary low-dimensional semiconductors. By breaking the inversion symmetry inherent in their bulk crystals, various exotic physical phenomena have been realized. We studied electrical responses under light illumination in such noncentrosymmetric TMDs belonging to a few different point groups, and observed a large photovoltaic effect induced by the reduction of the crystal symmetry.
