Quantum transport properties of the three-dimensional Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 single crystals

The discovery of the three-dimensional Dirac semimetals have expanded the family of topological materials,and attracted massive attentions in recent few years.In this short review,we briefly overview the quantum transport properties of a well-studied three-dimensional Dirac semimetal,Cd3As2.These unusual transport phenomena include the unexpected ultra-high charge mobility,large linear magnetoresistivity,remarkable Shubnikov-de Hass oscillations,and the evolution of the nontrivial Berry’s phase.These quantum transport properties not only reflect the novel electronic structure of Dirac semimetals,but also give the possibilities for their future device applications.
