Quantum transport of atomically thin 1<i>T<sub>d</sub></i>-MoTe<sub>2</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

There has been growing interest in the study of crystalline 2D superconductors, especially those with low carrier densities with gate tunability. Recently, it is reported that monolayer 1Td-MoTe2 exhibits superconductivity with transition temperature of 8 K [1], much enhanced from the bulk whose Tc = 0.1 K [2], and higher than the isostructural monolayer 1Td-WTe2 with its Tc = 0.7 K [3,4]. Whereas monolayer MoTe2 is inversion-symmetric, inversion-symmetry is broken in bilayer MoTe2 due to the stacking arrangement, which can change the superconducting properties. Here we will report the quantum transport properties of bilayer and monolayer MoTe2, for a better understanding of its superconductivity, and pursuing topologically non-trivial state in this platform.
