Topological frequency shift of quantum oscillation in CaFeAsF


Abstract in English

Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation measurements were performed on CaFeAsF up to a high temperature of $T$ = 7 K. The oscillation frequency of the $alpha$ Dirac electron cylinder exhibits a $T^2$ shift as the temperature is raised, while that of the $beta$ Schrodinger hole cylinder shows no clear shift. The observed shift is reasonably explained by the topological frequency shift proposed in [Guo, Alexandradinata, textit{et al.}, arXiv:1910.07608] which argues that the energy dependence of the effective mass peculiar to a linear band dispersion gives rise to a frequency shift proportional to $T^2$. The present result corroborate the applicability of the topological frequency shift to distinguish topologically nontrivial pockets from trivial ones.
