Non-linear Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the self-heating regime

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo, Xiangwei Huang, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez

We demonstrate a non-linear measurement scheme of the Shubnikov-de Haas effect based on Joule self-heating that builds on ideas of the 3 ?-method used in thin films. While the temperature dependence of the resistance, R(T), of clean metals at low temperatu ...

Extremely large magnetoresistance in the "ordinary" metal ReO3

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

The extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) observed in many topologically nontrivial and trivial semimetals has attracted much attention in relation to its underlying physical mechanism. In this paper, by combining the band structure and Fermi surface (FS ...

Determination of the Fermi surface and field-induced quasiparticle tunneling around the Dirac nodal loop in ZrSiS

Maarten Ruud van Delft

Unambiguous and complete determination of the Fermi surface is a primary step in understanding the electronic properties of topical metals and semimetals, but only in a relatively few cases has this goal been realized. In this work, we present a systematic ...

Tilted double Dirac cone and anisotropic quantum-spin-Hall topological insulator in mechanical granular graphene

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Dirac degeneracies are essential ingredients to control topological charge exchanges between bands and trigger the unique edge transport properties of topological materials. In addition, when Dirac cones are tilted, exotic phenomena can emerge such as anom ...
