Raman signatures of inversion symmetry breaking and structural phase transition in type-II Weyl semimetal MoTe2

Transition metal dichalcogenide MoTe2 is an important candidate for realizing the newly predicted type-II Weyl fermions, for which the breaking of the inversion symmetry is a prerequisite. Here we present direct spectroscopic evidence for the inversion symmetry breaking in the low-temperature phase...
