摘要:

本文报道了在B//c外加磁场作用下,用高质量的II型Weyl半金属WTe_2单晶体对霍尔效应的系统研究。剩余电阻率比为1330,在2 K下9 T下的大磁阻为1.5 \times 10^6%,在文献中处于最高级别,证明了它们的高质量。基于一个简单的双带模型,结合霍尔和电阻率数据,唯一地确定了电子和空穴载流子的密度(n_e和n_h)和迁移率(μ_e和μ_h)。在2K下ne和nh之间的差异约为1%,表明系统处于几乎补偿的条件下。在~20 K以下,由于μ h/μ e迅速增大而使霍尔负电阻率迅速增大,并趋于1。在低于3 K的低场区,我们发现霍尔电阻率变为正值,反映出μ_h/μ_e在此区域最终超过1。载流子密度和迁移率的这些反常行为可能与费米面上的Lifshitz跃迁和/或自旋织构的存在有关。

英文摘要:

We report on a systematic study of Hall effect using high quality single crystals of type-II Weyl semimetal WTe2 with the applied magnetic field B//c. The residual resistivity ratio of 1330 and the large magnetoresistance of 1.5\times10^6 % in 9 T at 2 K, being in the highest class in the literature, attest to their high quality. Based on a simple two-band model, the densities (n_e and n_h) and mobilities (μ_e and μ_h) for electron and hole carriers have been uniquely determined combining both Hall- and electrical-resistivity data. The difference between ne and nh is ~1% at 2 K, indicating that the system is in an almost compensated condition. The negative Hall resistivity growing rapidly below ~20 K is due to a rapidly increasing μ_h/μ_e approaching one. Below 3 K in a low field region, we found the Hall resistivity becomes positive, reflecting that μ_h/μ_e finally exceeds one in this region. These anomalous behaviors of the carrier densities and mobilities might be associated with the existence of a Lifshitz transition and/or the spin texture on the Fermi surface.
