Low-temperature phase transition in polar semimetal T_{d}−MoTe_{2} probed by nonreciprocal transport

We studied the nonreciprocal transport of layered MoTe_{2}, which undergoes a structural transition from centrosymmetric to the noncentrosymetric polar phase. Careful inspections of the temperature-dependent resistance showed an occurrence of additional phase transition at around T^{*}=50 K inside t...
