AC-susceptibility as a function of temperature and pressure in MoTe2. a Temperature dependence of the AC-susceptibility χ AC for the polycrystalline sample of MoTe2, measured at ambient and various applied hydrostatic pressures up to p ≃ 1 GPa. The arrow denotes the superconducting transition temperature T c. b Pressure dependence of T c (this work) and the structural phase transition temperature T S 15. Arrows mark the pressures at which the T-dependence of the penetration depth was measured
