Magnetotransport measurements of PtPb4 single crystals reveal pronounced exotic topological nature, with the presence of chiral-anomaly-induced quantum transport indicating PtPb4 as a potential candidate for a Weyl-semimetal superconductor.
Magnetotransport measurements of PtPb4 single crystals with the T (c) of similar to 2.80 K reveal pronounced exotic topological nature. An anomalous negative longitudinal magnetoresistance (MR) related to the chiral anomaly and a linear-like transverse MR examined within the framework of quantum MR theory were studied. Results indicate the presence of chiral-anomaly-induced quantum transport associated with the Weyl states and show a Dirac-cone-like band dispersion in PtPb4. This work reveals the drastic impact of the concept that the surface electrons in a Weyl fermion state may dominate the normal-state magnetotransport in PtPb4, leading to the conclusion that PtPb4 can be a Weyl-semimetal superconductor candidate.
