Title: Magneto-Optical Signature of Massless Kane Electrons in Cd 3 As 2

Abstract

Here, we report on optical reflectivity experiments performed on Cd3As2 over a broad range of photon energies and magnetic fields. The presence of 3D massless charge carriers are clearly indicated in the observed response. The specific cyclotron resonance absorption in the quantum limit implies that we are probing massless Kane electrons rather than symmetry-protected 3D Dirac particles. Furthermore, the latter may appear at a smaller energy scale and are not directly observed in our infrared experiments.
