a & b Hysteretic behaviors of c-axis thermal conductivity in the metastable phase MoTe2 sample 1 & 2. The triangular scatters represent the experimental data measured by ‘the static method’, while the solid lines represent the results continuously measured by ‘the dynamic method’. The red and blue arrows indicate the directions of warming up and cooling down routes, respectively. The inserted images show the locations of focused laser spots on the MoTe2 samples during the TDTR measurements
