Using a large-scale synchrotron radiation facility and photoelectron spectroscopy technology, a soft x-ray angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy study was carried out on the van der Waals material Td phase MoTe2, and its three-dimensional electronic energy band structure was obtained for the first time (Fig.1). At the same time, it is shown that the electronic correlation response plays a crucial role in describing the bulk band structure of Td-phase molybdenum ditelluride, leading to the Lifshitz transition of its Fermi surface topological properties (Fig.2). At the same time, a new type of hybrid Weyl semimetal state caused by the synergy of electron correlation effect and spin-orbit coupling was discovered in the bulk electronic structure of MoTe2. The conventional first-type Weyl fermions and the second-type Weyl fermions breaking Lorentz symmetry in Td phase MoTe2 coexist and originate from the same collective electron motion. Lorentz symmetry is a basic rule that high-energy particles in the universe must obey, so that hybrid Weyl fermions can only appear in the form of quasiparticles in solids, and have unique transport properties and potential application prospects . At the same time, the Td phase MoTe2 also provides a good way to systematically study the overall topological properties, spin-coupling coupling, inter-electron correlation effects, and interactions between superconductivity in materials, as well as control and apply these novel quantum states. research platform.
