Observation of quantum oscillations, linear magnetoresistance, and crystalline electric field effect in quasi-two-dimensional PrAgBi2
PublicationWe report the magnetic and magnetotransport properties with electronic band-structure calculation of the Bi square net system PrAgBi2. The magnetization and heat capacity data confirm the presence of a crystalline electric field (CEF) effect in PrAgBi2. Analysis of the CEF effect using a multilevel energy scheme reveals that the ground state of PrAgBi2 consists of five singlets and two doublets. The de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) quantum...
