Maximum non-saturating magnetoresistance in MoTe2

The search for exotic materials with a linear magnetoresistance (MR) is one of the most challenging tasks of the condensed matter community and materials science. Here, we investigated the magnetoresistance behavior of high-quality single crystals MoTe2. A large linear non-staturated MR in a magnetic field of 60 T, was observed with a maximum at a temperature of $T =$ 45 K. The detailed field and temperature dependencies will be presented. Our results not only provide a general scaling approach for the anisotropic MR but also are crucial for correctly understanding the mechanism of the linear MR, including the origin of the remarkable ``turn-on'' behavior in the resistance versus temperature curve.
