Topological superconductors have long been sought for their potential use in quantum computing. The type-II Weyl semimetal MoTe$_{2}$ is an obvious candidate, exhibiting a superconducting state below 500 mK at ambient pressure, but the…
In recent years, layered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted considerable attention because of their rich physics; for example, these materials exhibit superconductivity, charge density waves, and the valley Hall effect.…
The non-centrosymmetric Weyl semimetal candidate, MoTe$_2$ was investigated through neutron diffraction and transport measurements at pressures up to 1.5 GPa and at temperatures down to 40 mK. Centrosymmetric and non-centrosymmetric…

We found that a high mobility semimetal 1T'-MoTe2 shows a significant pressure-dependent change in the cryogenic thermopower in the vicinity of the critical pressure, where the polar structural transition disappears. With the application of…
Type-II Weyl semimetal MoTe$_2$ exhibits a first-order structural transition at $T_s$ $\sim$250~K and superconducts at $T_c$ $\sim$0.1~K at ambient pressure. Both $T_s$ and $T_c$ can be manipulated by several tuning parameters, such as…

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) MoTe2 has attracted much attention due to its predicted Weyl semimetal (WSM) state and a quantum spin Hall insulator in bulk and monolayer form, respectively. We find that the…
Ferroelectrics with spontaneous electric polarization play an essential role in today's device engineering, such as capacitors and memories. Their physical properties are further enriched by suppressing the long-range polar order, as is…
Inducing or enhancing superconductivity in topological materials is an important route toward topological superconductivity. Reducing the thickness of transition metal dichalcogenides (e.g. WTe2 and MoTe2) has provided an important pathway…
