Abstract
Platinum diselenide (PtSe2) is a promising two-dimensional (2D) material for the terahertz (THz) range as, unlike other transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), its bandgap can be uniquely tuned from a semiconductor in the near-infrared to a semimetal with the number of atomic layers. Here, we demonstrate that a controlled THz nonlinearity and circular dichroism - tuned from monolayer to bulk PtSe2 - can be realized in wafer size polycrystalline PtSe2 through the generation of ultrafast photocurrents and the engineering of the bandstructure valleys. These results highlight that PtSe2 is promising for THz photonic applications, ranging from THz valleytronics to harmonic generation.
