Quantum oscillation evidence of topological semimetal phase in ZrSnTe

ORAL

Abstract

The layered WHM - type (W=Zr/Hf/La, H=Si/Ge/Sn/Sb, M=S/Se/Te) materials represent a large family of topological semimetals, which provides an excellent platform to study the evolution of topological semimetal state with the fine tuning of spin-orbit coupling and structural dimensionality for various combinations of W, H and M elements. In this work, through high field de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) quantum oscillation studies, we have found evidence for the predicted topological non-trivial bands in ZrSnTe. Furthermore, from the angular dependence of quantum oscillation frequency, we have revealed the three-dimensional Fermi surface topologies of this layered material owing to strong interlayer coupling.
