Revealing the band structure of ZrTe5 using multicarrier transport
Journal article, 2023

The layered material ZrTe5 appears to exhibit several exotic behaviors, which resulted in significant interest recently, although the exact properties are still highly debated. Among these we find a Dirac/Weyl semimetallic behavior, nontrivial spin textures revealed by low-temperature transport, and a potential weak or strong topological phase. The anomalous behavior of resistivity has been recently elucidated as originating from band shifting in the electronic structure. Our work examines magnetotransport behavior in ZrTe5 samples in the context of multicarrier transport. The results, in conjunction with ab initio band structure calculations, indicate that many of the transport features of ZrTe5 across the majority of the temperature range can be adequately explained by the semiclassical multicarrier transport model originating from a complex Fermi surface.
