We report measurements of the surface Shubnikov de Haas oscillations (SdH) on crystals topological insulator Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se. In with large bulk resistivity ($\sim$4 $\Omega$cm at 4 K), we observe $\sim$15 SdH (to $n$ = 1 Landau Level) in magnetic fields $B$ up to 45 Tesla. Extrapolating limit $1/B\to 0$, confirm $\frac12$-shift expected from a Dirac spectrum. The results are consistent very small Lande $g$-factor.

Abstract The change in resistance of a material magnetic field reflects its electronic state. In metals with weakly- or non-interacting electrons, the typically increases upon application field. contrast, negative magnetoresistance may appear under some circumstances, e.g. , anisotropic Fermi surfaces spin-disorder scattering and semimetals Dirac Weyl structures. Here we show that non-magnetic semimetal TaAs 2 possesses very large magnetoresistance, an unknown mechanism. Density functional...

The easily tuned balance among competing interactions in Kondo-lattice metals allows access to a zero-temperature, continuous transition between magnetically ordered and disordered phases, quantum-critical point (QCP). Indeed, these highly correlated electron materials are prototypes for discovering exploring states. Theoretical models proposed account the strange thermodynamic electrical transport properties that emerge around QCP of Kondo lattice assume presence an indefinitely large...
