Title: Quantum oscillations in metallic ${Sb}_{2} {Te}_{2} Se$ topological insulator

Abstract

Here, we have studied the magnetotransport properties of the metallic, p-type Sb ₂Te ₂Se, which is a topological insulator. Magnetoresistance shows Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in fields above B = 15 T. The maxima and minima positions of oscillations measured at different tilt angles with respect to the B direction align with the normal component of field Bcosθ, implying the existence of a two-dimensional Fermi surface in Sb ₂Te ₂Se. The value of the Berry phase β determined from a Landau level fan diagram is very close to 0.5, further suggesting that the oscillations result from topological surface states. From Lifshitz-Kosevich analyses, the position of the Fermi level is found to be F = 250 meV, above the Dirac point. This value of F is almost 3 times larger than that in our previous study on the Bi ₂Se _2.1Te _0.9 topological insulator; however, it still touches the tip of the bulk valence band. This explains the metallic behavior and holelike bulk charge carriers in the Sb ₂Te ₂Se compound.

Large magnetoresistance and Fermi surface study of Sb ₂Se ₂Te single crystal

Journal Article Shrestha, K. ; Marinova, V. ; Graf, D. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Here, we have studied the magnetotransport properties of a Sb ₂Se ₂Te single crystal. Magnetoresistance (MR) is maximum when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the sample surface and reaches a value of 1100% at B = 31 T with no sign of saturation. MR shows Shubnikov de Haas (SdH) oscillations above B = 15 T. The frequency spectrum of SdH oscillations consists of three distinct peaks at α = 32 T, β = 80 T, and γ = 117 T indicating the presence of three Fermi surface pockets. Among these frequencies, β is the prominent peak in the frequencymore »« less

Shubnikov-de Haas quantum oscillations reveal a reconstructed Fermi surface near optimal doping in a thin film of the cuprate superconductor $\Pr_{1.86} {Ce}_{0.14} {CuO}_{4 \pm δ}$

Journal Article Breznay, Nicholas P. ; Hayes, Ian M. ; Ramshaw, B. J. ; ... - Physical Review B

We study magnetotransport properties of the electron-doped superconductor Pr2-xCexCuO4±δ with x=0.14 in magnetic fields up to 92 T, and observe Shubnikov-de Haas magnetic quantum oscillations. The oscillations display a single frequency F=255±10 T, indicating a small Fermi pocket that is ~1% of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone and consistent with a Fermi surface reconstructed from the large holelike cylinder predicted for these layered materials. Despite the low nominal doping, all electronic properties including the effective mass and Hall effect are consistent with overdoped compounds. Our study demonstrates that the exceptional chemical control afforded by high quality thin films will enable Fermimore »« less

Journal Article Giraldo-Gallo, P. ; Walmsley, P. ; Sangiorgio, B. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the evolution of the Fermi surface of the anomalous superconductor Pb _1-xTl _xTe as a function of thallium concentration, drawing on a combination of magnetotransport measurements (Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations and the Hall coefficient), angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations of the electronic structure. Our results indicate that for Tl concentrations beyond a critical value, the Fermi energy coincides with resonant impurity states in Pb _1-xTl _xTe , and we rule out the presence of an additional valence band maximum at the Fermi energy. Finally, a comparison to nonsuperconductingmore »« less

Bulk Rotational Symmetry Breaking in Kondo Insulator ${SmB}_{6}$

Journal Article Xiang, Z. ; Lawson, B. ; Asaba, T. ; ... - Physical Review. X

The Kondo insulator samarium hexaboride (SmB ₆) has been intensely studied in recent years as a potential candidate of a strongly correlated topological insulator. One of the most exciting phenomena observed in SmB ₆ is the clear quantum oscillations appearing in magnetic torque at a low temperature despite the insulating behavior in resistance. These quantum oscillations show multiple frequencies and varied effective masses. The origin of quantum oscillation is, however, still under debate with evidence of both two-dimensional Fermi surfaces and three-dimensional Fermi surfaces. Here, we carry out angle-resolved torque magnetometry measurements in a magnetic field up to 45 Tmore »« less

We use MHz conductivity, torque magnetometer, and magnetization measurements to report on single crystals of CeOs ₄ Sb ₁₂ and NdOs ₄Sb ₁₂ using temperatures down to 0.5 K and magnetic fields of up to 60 tesla. The field-orientation dependence of the de Haas-van Alphen and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations is deduced by rotating the samples about the [ 010 ] and [ 0 $$\bar{1}$$ 1 1 ] directions. Our results indicate that NdOs ₄ Sb ₁₂ has a similar Fermi surface topology to that of the unusual superconductor PrOs ₄ Sb ₁₂, but with significantly smaller effectivemore »« less
