Strain-Engineered Ferroelectricity in 2H Bilayer MoS2

The exploration of two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibiting out-of-plane ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties through interlayer twist/translation or strain, known as sliding ferroelectricity, has become a focal point in the quest for low-power electronic devices, capitalizing on weak van der Waals interactions. Herein, we delve into the behavior of strained bilayer molybdenum disulfide (2L-MoS
