Layer-parity-defined surface polarization in NbCl for excitonic modulation at van der Waals interfaces
Xinyue Huang, Hansheng Xu, Yuchen Gao +10
The intrinsic symmetry breaking in the breathing kagome lattice of layered NbCl provides a unique mechanism for realizing electrically polar surfaces. In each monolayer, th…
