摘要
Linear magnetoresistance (LMR) observed in a topological insulator (Bi0.5Sb0.5)(2)Te-3 thin film is systematically studied. LMR exists in very large ranges of temperature and magnetic field. It shows no trend toward saturation in the magnetic field of up to 18 T nor temperature dependence. LMR can be changed effectively by tuning the chemical potential through gate voltage. LMR shows a largest value when the chemical potential approaches to the Dirac point. These phenomena indicate that charge inhomogeneity is the origin of the LMR in this material.
