Highly Mobile Carriers in a Candidate of Quasi-Two-Dimensional Topological Semimetal AuTe${}_2$Br

Abstract

We report the crystal and electronic structures of a non-centrosymmetric quasi-two-dimensional (2D), candidate of topological semimetal AuTe2Br. The Fermi surface of this layered compound consists of 2D-like, topological trivial electron and non-trivial hole pockets which host a Dirac cone along the kz direction. Our transport measurements on the single crystals show highly anisotropic, compensated low-density electrons and holes, both of which exhibit ultrahigh mobility at a level of 10^5cm^2V^-1s^-1 at low temperature. The highly mobile, compensated carriers lead a non-saturated, parabolic magnetoresistance as large as 3*10^5 in single-crystalline AuTe2Br in a magnetic field up to 58 T.
