Abstract

The quantum-limit Hall effect at ν=nh/eBO(1)\nu = nh/eB\sim O(1) that hosts a variety of exotic quantum phenomena requires demanding strong magnetic field BB and low carrier density nn. We propose to realize quantum-limit Hall effect even in the presence of large carrier density residues nen_e and nhn_h relative to the magnetic field BB in topological semimetals, where a single Fermi surface contour allow both electron-type and hole-type carriers and approaches charge neutrality as nenhn_e\sim n_h. The underlying filling factor ν=nenhh/eB\nu = |n_e-n_h|h/eB explicitly violates the Onsager's relation for quantum oscillations.
