Giant high-order nonlinear and nonreciprocal electrical transports induced by valley flipping in Bernal bilayer graphene by Yuelin Shao, Xi Dai

“…We find that the valley polarization could be easily flopped by an in-plane electrical field, which will lead to hysteresis loop in the direct current (DC) I-V curves. Such irreversible current responses in the DC limit will directly induce strong nonlinear and nonreciprocal alternating current (AC) responses, which has been already observed in the recent experiments on BLG.…”
