Abstract
TaTe2 is a quasi-2D charge density wave (CDW) compound with distorted-1T–type structure exhibiting double-zigzag chains. Here we report the Fermi surface topology of a low-temperature phase of TaTe2 (LT-TaTe2) by anisotropic magneto-transport and magnetic measurements on high-quality single crystals. An anomalous large linear magnetoresistance up to 140% at 3 K in 9 T was observed, suggesting the existence of a small Fermi pocket in the Dirac cone state in quantum transport models. Moreover, strong magnetic anisotropy was observed for B⊥(001) and B∥(001). Angle-dependent magnetoresistance and de Hass-van Alphen oscillations suggest the anisotropy of the normal Fermi surface and the small Fermi pocket in Dirac cone state.
