Drastic enhancement of the superconducting temperature in type-II Weyl semimetal candidate MoTe2 via biaxial strain

A type-II Weyl semimetal candidate MoTe2, which superconducts at Tc ∼0.1 K, is one of the promising candidates for realizing topological superconductivity. However, the exceedingly low Tc is associated with a small upper critical field (Hc2), implying a fragile superconducting phase that only exists...
