摘要
We investigated the magnetoresistive behavior of an ideal Dirac semimetal-high-quality single crystals of Cd3As2 with a Fermi level very close to the Dirac point. A large linear magnetoresistance (LMR), up to 3100% in a magnetic field of 14 T, was observed at a temperature of T = 2 K. The detailed field and temperature dependencies reveal that the LMR occurs only when the Zeeman energy surpasses the thermal energy. Our result hints that the field-induced relative shifting of the two Weyl-Fermi surfaces in each Dirac cone in momentum space is likely responsible for the LMR behavior.
