Fermi surface map of metallic MoTe2 — •Thorsten Zandt, Robert Heimburger, Christoph Janowitz, and Recardo Manzke — Institut für Physik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Newtonstraße 15, 12489 Berlin

MoTe2 undergoes a phase transition at about 1125 K from a low-temperature semiconducting α-phase (hexagonal, isostructural with MoS2) to a high-temperature metallic β-phase (monoclinic, distorted CdI2). Upon further cooling an additional phase transition is observed at 250 K for monoclinic β-MoTe2. This transition is accompanied by a discontinuous structural change, i.e. the monoclinic angle β of 9355″ changes to 90 [1] resulting in an orthorhombic Td-MoTe2 structure, which is isostructural with WTe2.

Angular resolved photoemission was performed on β- and Td-MoTe2 with HeI radiation and in the photon energy range 50eV<hv<100eV at the U125-2 SGM monochromator at BESSY II. Fermi surface images were obtained by scanning the polar emission angle as well as the photon energy while monitoring the photoemission intensity at the Fermi level. The experimental results will be compared with additional tight-binding band structure calculations.
