Several prominent transport properties have been identified as key signatures of topologicalmaterials. One is the resistivity plateau at low temperatures as observed in several topological insulators (TIs), another is the negative…
Time reversal symmetry (TRS) protects the metallic surface modes of topological insulators (TIs). The transport signature of robust metallic surface modes of TIs is a plateau that arrests the exponential divergence of the insulating bulk…
We study magneto-transport properties in single crystals of TaSb_2, which is a recently discovered topological semimetal. In the presence of magnetic field, the electrical resistivity shows onset of insulating behaviour followed by plateau…
YSb crystals are grown and the transport properties under magnetic field are measured. The resistivity exhibits metallic behavior under zero magnetic field and the low temperature resistivity shows a clear upturn once a moderate magnetic…
Very strong magnetoresistance and a resistivity plateau impeding low temperature divergence due to insulating bulk are hallmarks of topological insulators and are also present in topological semimetals where the plateau is induced by…
There has been considerable interest in topological semi-metals that exhibit extreme magnetoresistance (XMR). These have included materials lacking inversion symmetry such as TaAs, as well Dirac semi-metals such as Cd3As2. However, it was…
We report large magnetoresistance (MR) at low temperatures in single-crystalline nonmagnetic compounds TaAs$_2$ and NbAs$_2$. Both compounds exhibit parabolic-field-dependent MR larger than $5\times10^3$ in a magnetic field of 9 Tesla at 2…
We have grown the MoAs$_2$ single crystal which crystallizes in a monoclinic structure with C2/m space group. Transport measurements show that MoAs$_2$ displays a metallic behavior at zero field and undergoes a metal-to-semiconductor…
The transition metal dipnictides TaAs2 , TaSb2 , NbAs2 and NbSb2 have recently sparked interest for exhibiting giant magnetoresistance. While the exact nature of magnetoresistance in these materials is still under active investigation,…
We report the observation of colossal positive magnetoresistance (MR) in single crystalline, high mobility TaAs2 semimetal. The excellent fit of MR by a single quadratic function of the magnetic field B over a wide temperature range (T =…
The rapidly expanding class of quantum materials known as {\emph{topological semimetals}} (TSM) display unique transport properties, including a striking dependence of resistivity on applied magnetic field, that are of great interest for…
We present electronic transport and magnetic properties of single crystals of semimetallic half-Heusler phase LuPdBi, having theoretically predicted band inversion requisite for nontrivial topological properties. The compound exhibits…
Magnetic topological semimetals LnSbTe (Ln = lanthanide elements) provide a platform to study the interplay of structure, magnetism, topology, and electron correlations. Varying Sb and Te compositions in LnSbxTe2-x can effectively control…
Topological insulators are characterized by an inverted band structure in the bulk and metallic surface states on the surface. In LaBi, a semimetal with a band inversion equivalent to a topological insulator, we observe surface state like…
We report extremely large positive magnetoresistance of 1.72 million percent in single crystal TaSb$_{2}$ at moderate conditions of 1.5 K and 15 T. The quadratic growth of magnetoresistance (MR $\propto\,B^{1.96}$) is not saturating up to…
The resistance of a metal in a magnetic field can be very illuminating about its ground state. Some famous examples include the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects\cite{Klitzing-QHE,Tsui-FQHE}, Shubnikov-de Haas…
We explore the electronic and topological properties of single crystal SrAl$_2$Si$_2$ using magnetotransport experiments in conjunction with first-principle calculations. We find that the temperature-dependent resistivity shows a pronounced…
In this report, we present the magnetotransport and magnetization properties of LaSbTe single crystals. Magnetic field-induced turn-on behavior and low-temperature resistivity plateau have been observed. By adopting both metal-semiconductor…
We report the low-temperature magneto-transport in the bulk-insulating single crystal of topological insulator Sn doped Bi1.1Sb0.9Te2S. The Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations appear with their reciprocal frequency proportional to cos/theta ,…
We report the observation of prominent Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in a Topological Insulator, Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se, with large bulk resistivity (6 $\Omega$cm at 4 K). By fitting the SdH oscillations, we infer a large metallicity parameter…
