<p>Magneto and Thermal Transport Properties of Weyl Semimetal BaMnSb<sub>2</sub> </p>

Abstract

Recently, magnetic BaMnSb2 has emerged as an attractive Wyle semimetal candidate with broken time-reversal symmetry. BaMnSb2 crystalizes in a tetragonal structure, consisting of an Sb square net layer critical to form Weyl points. Both in-plane and out-of-plane resistivities (ρab, ρc) show metallic behavior and large anisotropy, indicating quasi-2D electronic structure. By applying magnetic field (up to 35 Tesla) along the c direction, ρab, ρc and Hall resistivity (ρxy) show Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in the low temperature regime. The lowest Landau Level is observed at ~25 T with evidence of Landau level splitting ~20 T. However, there is no sign for SdH oscillations in thermal conductivity, likely due to predominant phonon contribution. The underlying physics will be discussed.
