We report a transport study on Pd3In7 which displays multiple Dirac type-II nodes in its electronic dispersion. Pd3In7 is characterized by low residual resistivities and high mobilities, which are consistent with Dirac-like quasiparticles. For an applied magnetic field (μ0H) having a non-zero component along the electrical current, we find a large, positive, and linear in μ0H longitudinal magnetoresistivity (LMR). The sign of the LMR and its linear dependence deviate from the behavior reported for the chiral-anomaly-driven LMR in Weyl semimetals. Interestingly, such anomalous LMR is consistent with predictions for the role of the anomaly in type-II Weyl semimetals. In contrast, the transverse or conventional magnetoresistivity (CMR for electric fields E⊥μ0H) is large and positive, increasing by 103−104 % as a function of μ0H while following an anomalous, angle-dependent power law \({\rho }_{{{{\rm{xx}}}}}\propto {({\mu }_{0}H)}^{n}\) with n(θ) ≤ 1. The order of magnitude of the CMR, and its anomalous power-law, is explained in terms of uncompensated electron and hole-like Fermi surfaces characterized by anisotropic carrier scattering likely due to the lack of Lorentz invariance.

立方体 II 型狄拉克金属 Pd3In7 中的各向异性正线性和亚线性磁阻
我们报告了 Pd 3 In 7的输运研究,其电子色散中显示了多个狄拉克 II 型节点。Pd 3 In 7具有低残余电阻率和高迁移率的特点,这与类狄拉克准粒子一致。对于沿电流具有非零分量的外加磁场 ( μ 0 H ),我们发现μ 0 H纵向磁阻 (LMR) 较大、正且呈线性。LMR 的符号及其线性相关性偏离了外尔半金属中手征异常驱动的 LMR 的行为。有趣的是,这种异常的 LMR 与 II 型韦尔半金属中异常作用的预测是一致的。相比之下,横向或传统磁阻(电场E ⊥ μ 0 H的 CMR )较大且为正值,作为μ 0 H的函数增加 10 3 -10 4 % ,同时遵循反常、角度相关的幂律\ ({\rho }_{{{{\rm{xx}}}}}\propto {({\mu }_{0}H)}^{n}\) 且 n ( θ ) ≤ 1。 CMR 的大小及其反常幂律可以用未补偿的电子和类空穴费米表面来解释,其特征是各向异性载流子散射,可能是由于缺乏洛伦兹不变性。
