(color online) (a) The gate voltage modulated longitudinal conductivity of the 15-nm ZrTe5 films at different temperatures. The results show a peak near 60 V at 3.6 K. (b) The field effect mobility of the dominated hole type carriers and the carrier density as estimated using the Drude model. (c) The corresponding temperature-dependent longitudinal resistivity at different voltages displays the movement of Tp. (d) Tp moves to a lower temperature with an increase in electrons doping, indicating the easy modulation due to the external doping level.
