The de Hass-van Alphen quantum oscillations in a three-dimensional Dirac semimetal TiSb2

Abstract

We have used the de Hass-van Alphen (dHvA) effect to investigate the Fermi surface of high-quality crystalline TiSb2, which unveiled a nontrivial topologic nature by analyzing the dHvA quantum oscillations. Moreover, our analysis on the quantum oscillation frequencies associated with nonzero Berry phase when the magnetic field is parallel to both of the ab-plane and c-axis of TiSb2 finds that the Fermi surface topology has a three-dimensional (3D) feature. The results are supported by the first-principle calculations which revealed a symmetry-protected Dirac point appeared along the Γ-Z high symmetry line near the Fermi level. On the (001) surface, the bulk Dirac points are found to project onto the -Γ point with nontrivial surface states. Our finding will substantially enrich the family of 3D Dirac semimetals which are useful for topological applications.
