Quantum-limit Hall effect with large carrier density in topological semimetals

Abstract

The quantum-limit Hall effect at $\nu =nh/eB\sim O(1)$ that hosts a variety of exotic quantum phenomena requires demanding strong magnetic field $B$ and low carrier density $n$. We propose to realize quantum-limit Hall effect even in the presence of large carrier density residues $n_e$ and $n_h$ relative to the magnetic field $B$ in topological semimetals, where a single Fermi surface contour allow both electron-type and hole-type carriers and approaches charge neutrality as $n_e\sim n_h$. The underlying filling factor $\nu =|n_e-n_h|h/eB$ explicitly violates the Onsager's relation for quantum oscillations.
