As an elemental semiconductor, tellurium has recently attracted intense interest due to its non-trivial band topology, and the resulted intriguing topological transport phenomena. In this study we report systematic electronic transport studies on tellurium flakes grown via a simple vapor deposition process. The sample is self-hole-doped, and exhibits typical weak localization behavior at low temperatures. Substantial negative longitudinal magnetoresistance under parallel magnetic field is observed over a wide temperature region, which is considered to share the same origin with that in tellurium bulk crystals, i.e., the Weyl points near the top of valence band. However, with lowering temperature the longitudinal magnetoconductivity experiences a transition from parabolic to linear field dependency, differing distinctly from the bulk counterparts. Further analysis reveals that such a modulation of Weyl behaviors in this low-dimensional tellurium structure can be attributed to the enhanced inter-valley scattering at low temperatures. Our results further extend Weyl physics into a low-dimensional semiconductor system, which may find its potential application in designing topological semiconductor devices.
