Resistivity plateau and extreme magnetoresistance in LaSb

TL;DR: A series of transport experiments on lanthanum antimonide reveal a plateau in its resistivity and an extremely large magnetoresistance that are consistent with topologically protected electronic states as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superconductivity in the noncentrosymmetric half-Heusler compound LuPtBi: A candidate for topological superconductivity

TL;DR: In this paper, the ternary half-Heusler compound LuPtBi was shown to have superconductivity in the normal state, with the spin-orbit coupling and non-centrosymmetric crystal structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sudden reversal in the pressure dependence ofTc in the iron-based superconductor KFe2As2

TL;DR: In this article, transport measurements suggest that pressure drives the superconducting state in KFe2As2 from d-wave to s-wave, and different probes have found different pairing states in different iron-based high-temperature superconductors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlling Magnetic and Optical Properties of the van der Waals Crystal CrCl3-x Brx via Mixed Halide Chemistry.

TL;DR: This is the first report of controlling exchange anisotropy in a layered crystal and the first unveiling of mixed halide chemistry as a powerful technique to produce functional materials for spintronic devices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature−field phase diagram of extreme magnetoresistance

TL;DR: It is suggested that XMR in LaBi and LaSb originates from a combination of compensated electron−hole pockets and a particular orbital texture on the electron pocket, which is likely to be a generic feature of various topological semimetals, giving rise to their small residual resistivity at zero field and subject to strong scattering induced by a magnetic field.
