A Review of the Characteristics, Synthesis, and Thermodynamics of Type-II Weyl Semimetal WTe2

WTe2 as a candidate of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibits many excellent properties, such as non-saturable large magnetoresistance (MR). Firstly, the crystal structure and characteristics of WTe2 are introduced, followed by a summary of the synthesis methods. Its thermodynamic properti...
