  • Description: Van der Waals (vdW) interfaces can be formed via layer stacking regardless of the lattice constant or symmetry of the individual building blocks. Herein, we constructed a vdW interface of layered Ta[sub.2]NiS[sub.5] and CrOCl, which exhibited remarkably enhanced in-plane anisotropy via polarized Raman spectroscopy and electrical transport measurements. Compared with pristine Ta[sub.2]NiS[sub.5], the anisotropy ratio of the Raman intensities for the B[sub.2g], [sup.2]A[sub.g], and [sup.3]A[sub.g] modes increased in the heterostructure. More importantly, the anisotropy ratios of conductivity and mobility in the heterostructure increased by one order of magnitude. Specifically speaking, the conductivity ratio changed from ~2.1 (Ta[sub.2]NiS[sub.5]) to ~15 (Ta[sub.2]NiS[sub.5]/CrOCl), while the mobility ratio changed from ~2.7 (Ta[sub.2]NiS[sub.5]) to ~32 (Ta[sub.2]NiS[sub.5]/CrOCl). Such prominent enhancement may be attributed to the symmetry reduction caused by lattice mismatch at the heterostructure interface and the introduction of strain into the Ta[sub.2]NiS[sub.5]. Our research provides a new perspective for enhancing artificial anisotropy physics and offers feasible guidance for future functionalized electronic devices.
