Observation of quantum oscillations, linear magnetoresistance, and crystalline electric field effect in quasi-two-dimensional PrAgBi2
Abstrakt
We 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 oscillations data show a single frequency with a very small cyclotron effective mass of approximately 0.11 me. A nontrivial Berry phase is also observed from the quantum oscillations data. The magnetotransport data shows linear and unsaturated magnetoresistance, reaching up to 1060% at 2 K and 9 T. Notably, there is a crossover from a weak-field quadratic dependence to a high-field linear dependence in the field-dependent magnetoresistance data. The crossover critical field B∗ follows the quadratic temperature dependence, indicating the existence of Dirac fermions. The band-structure calculation shows several Dirac-like linear band dispersions near the Fermi level and a Dirac point close to the Fermi level, located at the Brillouin zone boundary. Ab initio calculations allowed us to ascribe the observed dHvA oscillation frequency to a particular feature of the Fermi surface. Our study suggests layered PrAgBi2 is a plausible candidate for hosting the CEF effect and Dirac fermion in the Bi square net.
