Plots of magneto-resistance versus magnetic field at (a) various temperatures and (b) 1.5 K for different field orientations. All experimental data are taken from 4-nm-thick MoTe₂. (c) Angle-dependent upper critical field H_c2, with solid red line denoting fitting to the data following the Tinkham formula for a 2D superconductor, and empty circles referring to our data, solid circles representing mirror-symmetrized data for clarity, and inset showing experimental configuration and magnetic field direction. (d) Normalized H–T phase diagram, with symbol red star denoting our data.
