Superconductivity in doped Weyl semimetal Mo${}_{0.9}$Ir${}_{0.1}$Te${}_2$ with broken inversion symmetry

Abstract

This work presents the emergence of superconductivity in Ir - doped Weyl semimetal T${}_d$ - MoTe${}_2$ with broken inversion symmetry. Chiral anomaly induced planar Hall effect and anisotropic magneto-resistance confirm the topological semimetallic nature of Mo${}_{1-x}$Ir${}_x$Te${}_2$. Observation of weak anisotropic, moderately coupled type-II superconductivity in T${}_d$ -Mo${}_{1-x}$Ir${}_x$Te${}_2$ makes it a promising candidate for topological superconductor.
