Description:

(abstract)

We demonstrate gate-tunable giant field-dependent nonreciprocal transport (magnetochiral anisotropy) in noncentrosymmetric superconductor Td-MoTe2 in thin limit. Below the supercon- ducting transition temperature (Tc), a giant magnetochiral anisotropy (MCA) with the rectification coefficient γ = 3.1×106 T−1 A−1, is observed at 230 mK. This is one of the largest values reported so far, and is likely attributed to the reduced symmetry of the crystal structure. The temperature dependence of γ identifies the ratchet motion of magnetic vortices as the origin of the MCA. For bilayer Td-MoTe2, we successfully perform gate control of the MCA, and threefold modulation of γ is realized. Our experimental results provide a new route to realize an electrically controllable superconducting rectification device in a single material.
