Abstract
We study the quantum nonlinear Hall effect in two-dimensional materials with time-reversal symmetry. When only one mirror line exists, a transverse charge current occurs in second-order response to an external electric field, as a result of the Berry curvature dipole in momentum space. Candidate 2D materials to observe this effect are two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides~(TMDCs). First we use an ab initio based tight-binding approach to demonstrate that monolayer $T_d$-stricture TMDCs exhibit a finite Berry curvature dipole. In the $1H$ and $1T'$ phase of TMDCs, we show the emergence of finite Berry curvature dipole with the application of strain and electrical displacement field respectively.
