Strong electrical magneto-chiral anisotropy in tellurium

Materials Science 2019-07-24 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We report the experimental observation of strong electrical magneto-chiral anistropy (eMChA) in trigonal tellurium (t-Te) crystals. We introduce the tensorial character of the effect and determine several tensor elements and we propose a novel intrinsic bandstructure-based mechanism for eMChA which gives a reasonable description of the principal results.
