摘要:

在这里,我们提出了一个研究的费米面的狄拉克II型半金属候选人NiTe $_2$通过温度和角度的依赖性的德哈斯-范阿尔芬(dHvA)的影响测量通过Te通量生长的单晶。与其同构化合物如PtSe $_2$相比,能带结构计算预测NiTe $_2$显示出非常接近其费米能级的倾斜狄拉克节点,其位于沿$Γ$到其第一布里渊区(FBZ)内的A高对称方向。当电子能带相对于费米能级($\varepsilon_F$)略有位移时,dHvA频率的角度依赖性与第一性原理计算结果一致,从而为NiTe $_2$中狄拉克II型节点的存在提供了支持.然而,我们观察到实验观察和密度泛函理论计算之间的轻微分歧,例如,近各向同性和轻的实验有效质量。这表明DFT不能很好地捕获频带的色散。尽管Dirac类费米子与拓扑平凡的载体共存,最高质量的样品显示出异常和大的,线性或次线性的磁阻。这表明洛伦兹不变性破坏Dirac-like准粒子主导了该化合物中的载流子输运。

英文摘要:

Here, we present a study on the Fermi-surface of the Dirac type-II semi-metallic candidate NiTe$_2$ via the temperature and angular dependence of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect measured in single-crystals grown through Te flux. In contrast to its isostructural compounds like PtSe$_2$, band structure calculations predict NiTe$_2$ to display a tilted Dirac node very close to its Fermi level that is located along the $Γ$ to A high symmetry direction within its first Brillouin zone (FBZ). The angular dependence of the dHvA frequencies is found to be in agreement with the first-principle calculations when the electronic bands are slightly shifted with respect to the Fermi level ($\varepsilon_F$), and therefore provide support for the existence of a Dirac type-II node in NiTe$_2$. Nevertheless, we observed mild disagreements between experimental observations and density Functional theory calculations as, for example, nearly isotropic and light experimental effective masses. This indicates that the dispersion of the bands is not well captured by DFT. Despite the coexistence of Dirac-like fermions with topologically trivial carriers, samples of the highest quality display an anomalous and large, either linear or sub-linear magnetoresistivity. This suggests that Lorentz invariance breaking Dirac-like quasiparticles dominate the carrier transport in this compound.
