In a thin Weyl semimetal, a thickness dependent Weyl-orbit quantum oscillation was proposed to exist, originating from a nonlocal cyclotron orbit via electron tunnelings between top and bottom Fermi-arc surface states. Here, magneto-transport measurements were carried out on untwinned Weyl metal SrRuO3 thin films. In particular, quantum oscillations with a frequency Fs1 ≈ 30 T were identified, corresponding to a small Fermi pocket with a light effective mass. Its oscillation amplitude appears to be at maximum for thicknesses in a range of 10 to 20 nm, and the phase of oscillation exhibits a systematic change with film thickness. The constructed Landau fan diagram shows an unusual concave downward curvature in the 1/μ0Hn-n curve, where n is the Landau level index. From thickness and field-orientation dependence, the Fs1 oscillation is attributed to be of surface origin. Those findings can be understood within the framework of the Weyl-orbit quantum oscillation effect with non-adiabatic corrections.

铁磁外尔金属 SrRuO3 中量子振荡的厚度依赖性

在薄的 Weyl 半金属中,提出存在依赖于厚度的 Weyl 轨道量子振荡,该振荡源自非局域回旋加速器轨道,通过顶部和底部费米弧表面态之间的电子隧道效应。在这里,磁传输测量是在非孪晶外尔金属 SrRuO 3薄膜上进行的。特别是,确定了频率为F s1  ≈ 30 T 的量子振荡,对应于具有轻有效质量的小费米袋。对于 10 至 20 nm 的厚度,其振荡幅度似乎最大,并且振荡相位随薄膜厚度呈现系统变化。构建的 Landau 扇形图显示 1/ μ 0 H n中不寻常的凹向下曲率- n曲线,其中n是 Landau 水平指数。从厚度和场取向依赖性来看,F s1振荡归因于表面起源。这些发现可以在具有非绝热校正的 Weyl 轨道量子振荡效应的框架内理解。
