Td-MoTe2: A possible topological superconductor

We measured the magnetoresistivity properties of Td-MoTe2 single crystal under the magnetic field up to 33 T. By analyzing the Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations of the longitudinal resistance Δρxx, a linear dependence of the Landau index n on 1/B is obtained. The intercept of the Landau index plot is 0.47, which is between 3/8 and 1/2. This clearly reveals a nontrivial π Berry's phase, which is a distinguished feature of the surface state in Td-MoTe2 single crystal. Accompanied by the superconductivity observed at TC = 0.1 K, Td-MoTe2 may be a promising candidate of the topological superconductor and opens a door to study the relationship between the superconductivity and topological physics.
