Title: Anisotropic angular magnetoresistance and Fermi surface topology of the candidate novel topological metal ${Pd}_{3} Pb$

Abstract

In this paper, the recent realization of topological electronic states such as Dirac and Weyl fermions in real materials and their potential for future energy and electronics applications has motivated interest in the study of new forms of topological behavior embodied through new materials. Pd₃Pb is one such candidate predicted recently to host unique topological features, including a dispersionless band near the Fermi level and triple nodal points hosting Dirac fermions and open Fermi arcs. Here, we report the crystal growth and electric transport properties of Pd₃Pb. Our low field magnetoresistance measurements indicate an anisotropic Fermi surface. We found that Pd₃Pb manifests a large transverse magnetoresistance, which reaches 650% at 1.8 K and 14 T, and pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations. Preliminary analysis of the field dependence of the SdH oscillations points to the likelihood of nontrivial Berry phase in Pd₃Pb. Further studies in high field limit are desirable to extend the realization of the topological properties of the predicted novel fermions in this material.

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

Journal Article Shrestha, Keshav ; Marinova, V. ; Graf, D. ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, we have studied the magnetotransport properties of the metallic, p-type Sb₂Te₂Se, 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 Sb₂Te₂Se. 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 ofmore »« less

Detailed study of the Fermi surfaces of the type-II Dirac semimetallic candidates $X {Te}_{2}$ ( X =Pd, Pt)

Journal Article Zheng, W. ; Schönemann, R. ; Aryal, N. ; ... - Physical Review B

We present a detailed quantum oscillatory study on the Dirac type-II semimetallic candidates PdTe₂ and PtTe₂ via the temperature and the angular dependence of the de Haas–van Alphen and Shubnikov–de Haas effects. In high-quality single crystals of both compounds, i.e., displaying carrier mobilities between 10³ and 10⁴ cm²/Vs, we observed a large nonsaturating magnetoresistivity which in PtTe2 at a temperature T = 1.3 K leads to an increase in the resistivity up to (5 × 10⁴)% under a magnetic field _μ0H = 62 T. These high mobilities correlate with their light effective masses in the range of 0.04 to 1more »« less

Electron and hole contributions to normal-state transport in the superconducting system ${Sn}_{1 - x} {In}_{x} Te$

Journal Article Zhang, Cheng ; He, Xu-Gang ; Chi, Hang ; ... - Physical Review B

Indium-doped SnTe has been of interest because the system can exhibit both topological sur- face states and bulk superconductivity. While the enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature is established, the character of the electronic states induced by indium doping remains poorly understood. We report a study of magneto-transport in a series of Sn_1-xIn_xTe single crystals with 0:1 ≤ x ≤ 0:45. From measurements of the Hall effect, we find that the dominant carrier type changes from hole-like to electron-like at x ~ 0:25; one would expect electron-like carriers if the In ions have a valence of +3.

π Berry phase and Zeeman splitting of Weyl semimetal TaP

Journal Article Hu, J. ; Liu, J. Y. ; Graf, D. ; ... - Scientific Reports

Here, the recent breakthrough in the discovery of Weyl fermions in monopnictide semimetals provides opportunities to explore the exotic properties of relativistic fermions in condensed matter. The chiral anomaly-induced negative magnetoresistance and π Berry phase are two fundamental transport properties associated with the topological characteristics of Weyl semimetals. Since monopnictide semimetals are multiple-band systems, resolving clear Berry phase for each Fermi pocket remains a challenge. Here we report the determination of Berry phases of multiple Fermi pockets of Weyl semimetal TaP through high field quantum transport measurements. We show our TaP single crystal has the signatures of a Weyl state,more »« less
