Quantum transport in MoTe2 and WTe2 topological monolayers

ORAL

Abstract

There has been growing interest in the study of 2D topological quantum states. Recent experiments established monolayer WTe2 as a 2D topological insulator, which also becomes a superconductor via gating. This has triggered a lot of excitement in studying a wide range of topological properties of monolayer WTe2 and its cousins, such as MoTe2. We will report our investigations on the quantum transport behavior of monolayer WTe2 and MoTe2 in nano-fabricated devices, in the direction of searching for topological superconductivity.
