In addition, anisotropic orbital magnetoresistance rather than topologically nontrivial chiral anomalies dominates the PHE in Bi_(2)Rh_(3)Se_(2). The finding not only provides another platform for understanding the mechanism of PHE, but could also be beneficial for future planar Hall sensors based on two-dimensional materials.展开更多

We find that the crystals show large linear magnetoresistance without any sign of saturation with a magnetic field up to 30T. We also observe a phase transition with significant anomalies in resistivity and heat capacity at T_(p)~140 K. Thermal expansion measurement reveals a subtle lattice parameter variation near Tp, i.e.,?L_(c)/L_(c)~0.062%. The structural characterization confines that there is no structure transition below and above T_(p). All these results suggest that the nonmagnetic transition of SrCu_(4-x)P_(2) could be associated with structural distortion.展开更多

The metallic Cu1.89Te displays successive metal-semiconductor transitions at low temperatures and almost ideal linear MR when magnetic field up to 33 T. Through the electron diffraction patterns, the stable room-temperature phase is identified as a 3 × 3 × 2 modulated superstructure based on the Nowotny hexagonal structure. The superlattice spots of transmission electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy clearly show the structural transitions from the room-temperature commensurate Ⅰ phase, named as C-Ⅰ phase, to the low temperature commensurate Ⅱ(C-Ⅱ) phase. All the results can be understood in terms of charge density wave(CDW) instability, yielding intuitive evidences for the CDW formations in Cu1.89Te. The additional Raman modes below room temperature further reveal that the zone-folded phonon modes may play an important role on the CDW transitions. Our research sheds light on the novel electron features of Cu1.89Te at low temperature, and may provide potential applications for future nano-devices.展开更多
