Abstract
The emergence of the fascinating non-linear Hall effect intrinsically depends on the non-zero value of the Berry curvature dipole. In this work, we predict that suitable strain engineering in layered van der Waals material phosphorene can give rise to a significantly large Berry curvature dipole. Using symmetry design principles, and a combination of feasible strain and staggered on-site potentials, we show how a substantial Berry curvature dipole may be engineered at the Fermi level. We discover that monolayer phosphorene exhibits the most intense Berry curvature dipole peak near 11.8 strain, which is also a critical point for the topological phase transition in pristine phosphorene. Furthermore, we have shown that the necessary strain value to achieve substantial Berry curvature dipole can be reduced by increasing the number of layers. We have revealed that strain in these van der Waals systems not only alters the magnitude of Berry curvature dipole to a significant value but allows control over its sign. We are hopeful that our predictions will pave way to realize the non-linear Hall effect in such elemental van der Waals systems. © 2023 The Author(s)
