In-plane resistivity measurements, both parallel and perpendicular to the MO chain direction, have been performed on single crystals of 8-MoTe, between - 10 K and 295 K. The data suggest the existence of a first-order phase transition near 250K. MoTe, is unusual among the group VIA transition metal dichalcogenides in that it adopts two basic forms; a-MoTe, is stable and isostructural with MoS,, with the MO atom surrounded by a trigonal prism of Te atoms, while fi-MoTe, is metastable at room temperature, and has a more complex structure similar to that of WTe,. Here the metal atoms lie in octahedra of Te atoms, but shifted away from the centre towards an octa- hedron face so that metal-metal zig-zag chains result (Brown 1966, figure l). This metal-metal bonding buckles the Te sheets, distorting the Te octahedra. Above - 1200 K, fi-MoTe, is the stable form. Because of the MO-MO chains within the layers, this material exhibits both one- and two-dimensional characteristics.
