Unconventional Superconductivity in MoTe2 Studied with Kinetic Inductance
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Utilizes a novel technique based on microwave resonators to measure kinetic inductance in MoTe2.
- •Provides evidence for nodal superconductivity in MoTe2.
- •Addresses conflicting results from previous measurements of the London penetration depth.
“The high precision of this technique allows us to observe power-law temperature dependence of $λ$, and to measure the anomalous nonlinear Meissner effect -- the current dependence of $λ$ arising from nodal quasiparticles. Together, these measurements provide smoking gun signatures of nodal superconductivity.”
