Abstract

The nonlinear acoustic valley Hall effect (AVHE), a recently discovered novel acoustically driven phenomena, has sparked extensive interests in valleytronics. So far, only the intrinsic contributions from band structure (Berry curvature or asymmetric energy dispersions) to nonlinear AVHE have been investigated. Here, we theoretically investigate the nonlinear AVHE from both intrinsic and extrinsic contributions in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal massive Dirac materials with disorders based on the Boltzmann formalism and also concretely analyse the behaviours of nonlinear AVHE in disordered monolayer MoS2. It's found that the extrinsic contributions (side jump and skew scattering) can also give rise to a pure nonlinear AVHE in the 2D hexagonal massive Dirac materials. Remarkably, the extrinsic mechanisms dominate the nonlinear AVHE in the disordered monolayer MoS2.
