Recently, it has been theoretically predicted that Cd3As2 is a three dimensional Dirac material, a new topological phase discovered after topological insulators, which exhibits a linear energy dispersion in the bulk with massless Dirac fermions. Here, we report on the low-temperature magnetoresistance measurements on a ~50 nm-thick Cd3As2 film. The weak antilocalization under perpendicular magnetic field is discussed based on the two-dimensional Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka (HLN) theory. The electron-electron interaction is addressed as the source of the dephasing based on the temperature-dependent scaling behavior. The weak antilocalization can be also observed while the magnetic field is parallel to the electric field due to the strong interaction between the different conductance channels in this quasi-two-dimensional film.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a simple method to determine the topological phase of the complex quantum material ZrTe without directly examining its band structure.
- Through low-temperature electrical and magnetotransport measurements, researchers observed weak antilocalization effects and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, indicating the presence of multiple conducting channels.
- The findings suggest that bulk ZrTe crystals exhibit distinct transport properties, making them an exciting area for future research on quantum phases and transitions in three-dimensional quantum systems.

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has significant effects on the superconductivity and magnetism of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) at the 2D limit. Although 2D TMD samples possess many exotic properties different from those of bulk samples, experimental characterization in this field is still limited, especially for magnetism. Recent studies have revealed that bulk misfit layer compounds (MLCs) with (LaSe)(NbSe) exhibit an Ising superconductivity similar to that of heavily electron-doped NbSe monolayers.

We report a study of the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of YbAuSb single crystals, which were grown using the bismuth flux. The x-ray diffraction data indicate that YbAuSb crystallizes in LiGaGe-type hexagonal structure with space group6. Our magnetic measurements revealed that YbAuSb is nonmagnetic with a divalent state of ytterbium ion.

Kagome-lattice crystal is crucial in quantum materials research, exhibiting unique transport properties due to its rich band structure and the presence of nodal lines and rings. Here, we investigate the electronic transport properties and perform first-principles calculations for NiInSekagome topological semimetal. First-principles calculations of the band structure without the inclusion of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) shows that three bands are crossing the Fermi level (), indicating the semi-metallic nature.

Well-established knowledge about inversion-symmetric BiTeSe topological insulators characterizes the promising new-generation quantum device. Noticeably, the inversion asymmetric phase containing different surface electronic structures may create an extra topological phenomenon pointing to a new device paradigm. Herein, Janus BiTeSe single-crystal nanosheets with an unconventional stacking sequence of Se-Bi-Se-Bi-Te are realized via chemical vapor deposition growth, which is clarified by atomically resolved AC-STEM and elemental mapping.
