Non-magnetic extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) is observed in a number of materials with diverse electronic and crystalline structures. Among XMR materials, rare-earth monopnictides RX (R = rare earth, X = Sb, Bi) with a simple rock-salt structure have drawn attention for exhibiting large nonsaturating magnetoresistance (MR), a resistivity plateau at low temperature and high field, and a field-induced upturn in resistivity [1-3]. We have previously reported a large nonsaturating MR in ScSb of 28 000% at T = 2 K and B = 14 T [1]. Here, we are interested in exploring the MR behavior at very high applied fields.
