Title:Visualizing Type-II Weyl Points on WTe2 and MoTe2 Surfaces
Abstract:Topology in abstract mathematics has revolutionized our conventional understanding of condensed matter physics, resulting in the emergence of exotic quantum phases such as topological insulators (TIs). Recently the realization of the Weyl semimetals (WSMs) leads us to uncover the topological phases of matter beyond TIs. WSMs have gathered a deal of great attention because the quasiparticles in WSMs behave as Weyl fermions, massless chiral fermions long sought in particle physics. WSMs are classified into two types, type I and II, according to the topology of the Weyl point, where the electron and hole pockets touch each other. Tungsten Ditelluride (WTe 2 ) and Molibuden Ditelluride (MoTe 2 ) are strong candidates of type-II WSMs proposed by the theory. Here, we measured energy-dependent quasiparticle interference patterns on both T d phase WTe 2 and MoTe 2 with a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope, revealing the position of the Weyl points and their connection with the Fermi arc surface states. The results as shown in Fig. 1 are also in agreement with prior theoretical predictions. Our results provide a conclusive answer to the issue and serve to motivate further exploration of the novel characteristics of WSMs [1, 2].
