Topological materials often exhibit remarkably linear, non-saturating magnetoresistance (LMR), which is both of scientific and technological importance. However, the role of topologically non-trivial states in the emergence of such a behaviour has been difficult to establish in experiments. Here, we show how strong interaction between the topological surface states (TSS) with a positive g-factor and the bulk carriers can lead to a smearing of the Landau levels giving rise to an LMR behavior in a semi-metallic Heusler compound. The role of TSS is established by controllably reducing the surface-bulk coupling by a combination of substitution alloying and the application of high magnetic field, when the LMR behavior transmutes into a quantum Hall phase arising from the TSS. Our work establishes that small changes in the coupling strength between the surface and the bulk carriers can have a profound impact on the magnetotransport behavior in topological materials. In the process, we lay out a strategy to both reveal and manipulate the exotic properties of TSS in compounds with a semi-metallic bulk band structure, as is the case in multi-functional Heusler compounds.
Materials with high carrier mobility showing large magnetoresistance (MR) have recently received much attention because of potential applications in future high-performance magneto-electric devices. Here, we report on the discovery of an electron-hol
We propose a new topological quantum state of matter---the two-dimensional (2D) Weyl half semimetal (WHS), which features 2D Weyl points at Fermi level belonging to a single spin channel, such that the low-energy electrons are described by fully spin
Based on first-principles study, we report the finding of a new topological semimetal LiBaBi in half-Heusler phase. The remarkable feature of this nonmagnetic, inversion-symmetry-breaking material is that it consists of only simple $s$- and $p$-block
Recent experiments in the topological Weyl semimetal TaAs have observed record-breaking second-harmonic generation, a non-linear optical response at $2omega$ generated by an incoming light source at $omega$. However, whether second-harmonic generatio
In this work, we construct a generalized Kane model with a new coupling term between itinerant electron spins and local magnetic moments of anti-ferromagnetic ordering in order to describe the low energy effective physics in a large family of anti-fe
