Background:

Two-dimensional van der Waals materials offer unique properties tunable via interlayer stacking.
Controlling stacking order is key for advanced material properties and slidetronics devices.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and investigate a mechanical bending approach for manipulating stacking order in 2D van der Waals materials.
To explore the impact of this manipulation on material properties, including ferroelectric, topological, optical, and magnetic characteristics.

Main Methods:

Utilized machine-learning potentials for simulations.
Applied a mechanical bending approach to simulate bilayer systems (ferroelectric h-BN, 3R-MoS2, and nonferroelectric bilayer graphene).
Analyzed the resulting structural deformations and property changes.

Main Results:

Predicted the formation of irreversible kinks in bent bilayers, a deviation from simple arclike deformation.
Identified that kink formation results from the interplay between bending and interlayer stacking energies.
Discovered that kinks in ferroelectric materials host a topological domain wall that reverses polarization, distinct from flexoelectric effects.

Conclusions:

Mechanical bending offers a novel method for dynamic manipulation of stacking order in van der Waals materials.
This approach enables control over diverse material properties, paving the way for new slidetronics applications.
The observed kink-induced polarization reversal presents a new mechanism for ferroelectric control.
