Lifshitz transition (LT) refers to an abrupt change in the electronic structure and Fermi surface and is associated to a variety of emergent quantum phenomena. Amongst the LTs observed in known materials, the field-induced LT has been rare and its origin remains elusive. To understand the origin of field-induced LT, it is important to extend the material basis beyond the usual setting of heavy fermion metals. Here, we report on a field-induced LT in PrAlSi, a magnetic Weyl semimetal candidate with localized 4f electrons, through a study of magnetotransport up to 55 T. The quantum oscillation analysis reveals that across a threshold field B* ≈ 14.5 T the oscillation frequency (F1 = 43 T) is replaced by two new frequencies (F2 = 62 T and F3 = 103 T). Strikingly, the LT occurs well below the quantum limit, with obvious temperature-dependent oscillation frequency and field-dependent cyclotron mass. Our work not only enriches the rare examples of field-induced LTs but also paves the way for further investigation of the interplay among topology, magnetism, and electronic correlation.

磁性 Weyl 半金属候选 PrAlSi 中的场致 Lifshitz 跃迁

Lifshitz 跃迁 (LT) 是指电子结构和费米面的突然变化,与各种涌现的量子现象有关。在已知材料中观察到的 LT 中,场致 LT 很少见,其起源仍然难以捉摸。要了解场致 LT 的起源,重要的是将物质基础扩展到重费米子金属的通常设置之外。在这里,我们通过研究高达 55 T 的磁传输,报告了 PrAlSi 中的场感应 LT,PrAlSi 是一种具有局部 4 f电子的磁性 Weyl 半金属候选物。量子振荡分析表明,在阈值场B *  ≈ 14.5 T 上振荡频率 ( F 1  = 43 T) 被两个新频率 (F 2  = 62 T 和F 3  = 103 T)。引人注目的是,LT 远低于量子极限,具有明显的温度依赖振荡频率和场依赖回旋加速器质量。我们的工作不仅丰富了场致 LT 的罕见例子,而且为进一步研究拓扑、磁性和电子相关性之间的相互作用铺平了道路。
