MoTe₂, one of the candidates to realize the topological type-II Weyl semimetal, crystallizes in several structures. At room temperature, Mote₂ can have either a semiconducting (2H) or a metallic phase (1T’). Upon cooling, the monoclinic phase undergoes a transition at ∼ 240 K into an orthorhombic phase (T_d), which breaks the inversion symmetry. We investigate the optoelectronic properties of MoTe₂ as a function of temperature using photocurrent spectroscopy in combination with Raman and transient reflection spectroscopy. We elucidate the impact of phase disorder on the generation of local photocurrents especially with respect to ultrafast photogalvanic currents [1].
