摘要:

我们报告的重入金属行为的外尔半金属铌磷的发生。当外加磁场$H$高于临界值$H_c$时,在$T$ = $T_p$处,重入出现为温度相关电阻率$ρ_{xx}(T)$的峰值,类似于在石墨中观察到的,其中它归因于局部超导性。$T_p(H)$关系遵循幂律依赖性$T_p\sim(H-H_c)^{1/v}$,其中$v$可以从零场电阻率$ρ_0(T) \sim T^v$的温度依赖性导出。从同时测量的横向$ρ_{xx}(T)$和霍尔$ρ_{xy}(T)$的磁致伸缩性,我们揭示了一个明确的相关性之间的快速增加的$ρ_{xy}(T)$和发生在$ρ_{xx}(T)$曲线的峰值。定量分析表明,重入金属行为产生的竞争的磁导率$σ_{xx}(T)$与额外的组件$Δσ_{xx}(T)=κ_Hσ_{xx}(T)$,其中$κ_H=[ρ_{xy}(T)/ρ_{xx}(T)]^2$是霍尔因子。我们发现,霍尔因子($κ_H \approx 0.4$)在峰值温度$T_p$几乎是场无关的,导致观察到的$T_p(H)$关系。此外,$ρ_{xx}(T)$中的重入金属行为也反映在$ρ_{xx}(H)$的行为中,其范围从在$T>70$ K下的非饱和到在液氦温度下的饱和。后者可以用霍尔因子$κ_H(H)$的磁场依赖性来解释。我们的研究表明,一个半经典理论可以解释的“异常”的NbP的磁输运现象,而不调用一个外来的机制。

英文摘要:

We report the occurrence of reentrant metallic behavior in the Weyl semimetal NbP. When the applied magnetic field $H$ is above a critical value $H_c$, a reentrance appears as a peak in the temperature dependent resistivity $ρ_{xx}(T)$ at $T$ = $T_p$, similar to that observed in graphite where it was attributed to local superconductivity. The $T_p(H)$ relationship follows a power-law dependence $T_p\sim(H-H_c)^{1/v}$ where $v$ can be derived from the temperature dependence of the zero-field resistivity $ρ_0(T) \sim T^v$. From concurrent measurements of the transverse $ρ_{xx}(T)$ and Hall $ρ_{xy}(T)$ magnetoresistivities, we reveal a clear correlation between the rapidly increasing $ρ_{xy}(T)$ and the occurrence of a peak in the $ρ_{xx}(T)$ curve. Quantitative analysis indicates that the reentrant metallic behavior arises from the competition of the magneto conductivity $σ_{xx}(T)$ with an additional component $Δσ_{xx}(T)=κ_Hσ_{xx}(T)$ where $κ_H=[ρ_{xy}(T)/ρ_{xx}(T)]^2$ is the Hall factor. We find that the Hall factor ($κ_H \approx 0.4$) at peak temperature $T_p$ is nearly field-independent, leading to the observed $T_p(H)$ relationship. Furthermore, the reentrant metallic behavior in $ρ_{xx}(T)$ also is reflected in the behavior of $ρ_{xx}(H)$ that ranges from non-saturating at $T>70$ K to saturation at liquid helium temperatures. The latter can be explained with the magnetic field dependence of the Hall factor $κ_H(H)$. Our studies demonstrate that a semiclassical theory can account for the 'anomalies' in the magnetotransport phenomena of NbP without invoking an exotic mechanism.
