Abstract
The composition dependence of the structural transition between the monoclinic 1T′ and orthorhombic Td phases in the Mo1-xWxTe2 Weyl semimetal was investigated by elastic neutron scattering on single crystals up to x ≅ 0:54. First observed in MoTe2, the transition from Td to 1T′ is accompanied by an intermediate pseudo-orthorhombic phase, Td. Upon doping with W the Td phase vanishes by x ≅ 0:34. Above this concentration, a phase coexistence behavior with both Td and 1T′ is observed, instead. The interlayer in-plane positioning parameter, δ, which relates to the 1T′ β angle, decreases with temperature as well as with W substitution indicating strong anharmonicity of the layer displacements. The temperature width of the phase coexistence remains almost constant up to x ≅ 0:54, in contrast to the broadening reported with applying pressure.Citation
