Researchers recently discovered a rhombohedral crystal structure of TMDs (with a stack of parallel oriented TMD layers) with tunable spontaneous polarization despite the absence of polarization in each layer. Researchers use an optical method was used to investigate the spontaneous polarization generated by asymmetric MoS₂ bilayer interlayer coupling.

Interlayer coupling offers the opportunity to observe new physical phenomena and new strategies for modulating the electronic and optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials for practical device applications. This provides a good foundation for the future of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) structural interlayer coupling and 2D materials.
