Abstract We study systematically the negative magnetoresistance () effect in WTe flakes with different thicknesses and doping concentrations. The negative is sensitive to the relative orientation between electrical-/magnetic-field and crystallographic orientation of WTe. The analysis proves that the negative originates from chiral anomaly and is anisotropic. Maximum entropy mobility spectrum is used to analyze the electron and hole concentrations in the flake samples. It is found that the negative observed in WTe flakes with low doping concentration is small, and the high doping concentration is large. The doping-induced disorder obviously inhibits the positive , so the negative can be more easily observed. In a word, we introduce disorder to suppress positive by doping, and successfully obtain the negative in WTe flakes with different thicknesses and doping concentrations, which indicates that the chiral anomaly effect in WTe is robust.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
