Unusual magnetotransport in holmium monoantimonide

We report the magnetotransport properties of HoSb, a semimetal with antiferromagnetic ground state. HoSb shows extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) and Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation at low temperature and high magnetic field. Different from previous reports in other rare earth monopnictides, kinks in $\rho(B)$ and $\rho_{xy}(B)$ curves and the field dependent resistivity plateau are observed in HoSb, which result from the magnetic phase transitions. The fast Fourier transform analysis of the SdH oscillation reveals the split of Fermi surfaces induced by the nonsymmetric spin-orbit interaction. The Berry phase extracted from SdH oscillation indicates the possible nontrivial electronic structure of HoSb in the presence of magnetic field. The Hall measurements suggest that the XMR originates from the electron-hole compensation and high mobility.
