Design principles for shift current photovoltaics

Above band-gap photovoltage could be achieved in materials with a net polarization. Here, Cooket al. compute the contribution to the shift current from the band edge and identify two classes of shift current photovoltaics materials, GeS and ferroelectric polymer films.
