dc.description.abstractMonolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) display valley-selective circular dichroism due to the presence of time-reversal symmetry and the absence of inversion symmetry, making them promising candidates for valleytronics. In contrast, in bilayer TMDCs both symmetries are present and these desirable valley-selective properties are lost. Here, by using density-functional tight-binding electronic structure simulations and revised periodic boundary conditions, we show that bending of bilayer MoS2 sheets breaks band degeneracies and localizes states on separate layers due to bendinginduced strain gradients across the sheets. We propose a strategy for employing bending deformations in bilayer TMDCs as a simple yet effective means of dynamically and reversibly tuning their band gaps while simultaneously tuning valley-selective physics.
