摘要:

准二维过渡金属二硫属化物(TMD)具有显著的性质,可以改变电子和光子器件。我们报告了如何在MoTe $_2$,一种II型Weyl半金属,在高磁场下观察到的巨大的磁电阻(MR),可以在拉伸应变下可逆地控制。当沿$a$晶体学方向施加单轴应变时,在低温和高磁场下,MR增强多达~ 30%,并且当沿$b$方向施加应变时,MR减小大约相同的量。我们表明,大的面内电各向异性耦合的结构转变,从1 T '单斜的Td正交Weyl相。通过最小的拉伸应变实现Td -1 T '相界的移动。MR对拉伸应变的敏感性表明在Weyl点附近的电子和空穴袋的非平凡的自旋轨道纹理的可能性。我们的从头计算确实显示了一个显着的费米面上的轨道混合,这是修改的拉伸应变。

英文摘要:

Quasi-two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) exhibit dramatic properties that may transform electronic and photonic devices. We report on how the anomalously large magnetoresistance (MR) observed under high magnetic field in MoTe$_2$, a type II Weyl semimetal, can be reversibly controlled under tensile strain. The MR is enhanced by as much as ~ 30 % at low temperatures and high magnetic fields, when uniaxial strain is applied along the $a$-crystallographic direction and reduced by about the same amount when strain is applied along the $b$-direction. We show that the large in-plane electric anisotropy is coupled with the structural transition from the 1T' monoclinic to the Td orthorhombic Weyl phase. A shift of the Td - 1T' phase boundary is achieved by minimal tensile strain. The sensitivity of the MR to tensile strain suggests the possibility of a nontrivial spin-orbital texture of the electron and hole pockets in the vicinity of Weyl points. Our ab initio calculations indeed show a significant orbital mixing on the Fermi surface, which is modified by the tensile strains.
