Giant tunnel electroresistance through a Van der Waals junction by external ferroelectric polarization

The burgeoning interest in two-dimensional semiconductors stems from their potential as ultrathin platforms for next-generation transistors. Nonetheless, there persist formidable challenges in fully obtaining high-performance complementary logic components and the underlying mechanisms for the polarity modulation of transistors are not yet fully understood. Here, we exploit both ferroelectric domain-based nonvolatile modulation of Fermi level in transitional metal dichalcogenides (MoS
