@article{ISI:000429455400006, abstract = {Transition-metal dipnictides (TMDs) have recently been identified as possible candidates to host a topology-protected electronic band structure. These materials belong to an isostructural family and show several exotic transport properties. Especially, the large values of magnetoresistance (MR) and carrier mobility have drawn significant attention from the perspective of technological applications. In this paper, we investigate the magnetotransport and Fermi surface properties of single-crystalline MoAs2, another member of this group of compounds. A field-induced resistivity plateau and a large MR have been observed, which are comparable to those in several topological systems. Interestingly, in contrast to other isostructural materials, the carrier density in MoAs2 is quite high and shows single-band-dominated transport. The Fermi pockets, which have been identified from the quantum oscillation, are the largest among the members of this group and have significant anisotropy with crystallographic direction. Our first-principles calculations reveal a substantial difference between the band structures of MoAs2 and that of other TMDs. The calculated Fermi surface consists of one electron pocket and another ``open-orbit″ hole pocket, which has not been observed in TMDs so far.}, article-number = {155120}, author = {Singha, Ratnadwip and Pariari, Arnab and Gupta, Gaurav Kumar and Das, Tanmoy and Mandal, Prabhat}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.97.155120}, eissn = {2469-9969}, issn = {2469-9950}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, month = {APR 9}, number = {15}, orcid-numbers = {Singha, Ratnadwip/0000-0002-3155-2137 Pariari, Arnab/0000-0002-9615-9301}, researcherid-numbers = {Singha, Ratnadwip/W-6896-2019 }, times-cited = {4}, title = {Probing the Fermi surface and magnetotransport properties of MoAs2}, unique-id = {ISI:000429455400006}, volume = {97}, year = {2018} }
