Original abstract
The photovoltaic electric field of the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPE) reflects the intrinsic ability of ferroelectrics to separate photoexcited excitons into electrons and holes, and are essential parameters for applications such as voltage-readout photodetectors. Because polarization defines the cation-anion displacement and noncentrosymmetric axis, the polar direction is generally one of the orientations exhibiting strong bulk photovoltaic field (EBPE). Here, we report emergent BPE behavior in 2D hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics (HPFs), where EBPE can be two orders of magnitude higher along the vertical nonpolar direction than along the polar in-plane direction. Its magnitude is up to orders of magnitude higher than that of benchmark photoferroelectrics across different material systems and is the highest among 2D HPFs reported so far. This strong BPE response with emergent directional anisotropy originates from the unique coupling among the shift-current BPE mechanism, an efficient photocarrier-generating inorganic part, and an insulator-like organic part, a combination that is conflicting or inaccessible in traditional photoferroelectrics. This composition and anisotropy also produce basic BPE behavior distinct from that of typical photoferroelectrics, including a laser intensity dependent photovoltage and a nonlinear scaling of photovoltage with material dimension. We analyze and develop a series of formulas to describe the emergent photovoltage phenomena, which should be applicable to this novel 2D ferroelectrics family and to polar systems with similar anisotropy and robust photoelectric response.
