High field magnetization of Half-Heusler compound LuPdBi

ORAL

Abstract

Topological insulators and topological superconductors are a novel phases of matter that have been an area of rich new physics in recent years. Half-Heusler compound LuPdBi has been suggested to have a topologically nontrivial phase by theoretical calculations and has been shown to have superconductivity and weak antilocalization in magneto-transport measurements. Given the promise of this compound, we preformed and report here preliminary results of magnetization measurements in LuPdBi at high magnetic fields up to 45T.
