Description
We report the observation of a giant c-axis nonlinear anomalous Hall effect in the non-centrosymmetric Td phase of MoTe2 without intrinsic magnetic order. Here, application of an in-plane current generates a Hall field perpendicular to the layers. By measuring samples across different thicknesses and temperatures, we find that the nonlinear susceptibility obeys a universal scaling with sample conductivity that is indicative of extrinsic scattering mechanisms. Application of higher bias yields an extremely large anomalous Hall ratio and conductivity.
