Magnetoresistance and dHvA oscillations in YbB6. (a) Illustration of the electronic structure of YbB6 in the 3D and 2D projected Brillouin zones. The bottom shows the FS obtained in our ARPES experiment. (b) The field dependence magnetic torque τ (upper panel) and its first derivative dτ/dH (lower panel) of YbB6. Oscillating patterns are observed in magnetic field higher than 8 T. The inset is the sketch of the experimental setup. The sample stage is rotated to tilt magnetic field H in the crystalline a–c plane. The magnetic field is applied to the sample with a tilt angle f relative to the crystalline c axis. (c) The oscillatory magnetic torques plotted as a function of 1/µ0H, clearly revealing the quantum oscillation pattern. (d) The main oscillation peak and its harmonic are observed in the FFT transformations of the derivative dτ/dH. The inset shows the corresponding FS pockets of each main oscillation peak, with the extracted area contour of the surface states at
Γ¯ and
X¯ labeled by the dotted green and blue curves, respectively. (e) The oscillatory torque signals measured at selected temperatures in magnetic field up to 35 T and tilt angle ϕ ∼ 10°. (f) The temperature dependence of the normalized FFT peak amplitudes for both pockets α and β. The effective mass is determined by fitting the temperature dependence to the thermal damping factor RT of the LK formula. |
