Abstract

Electrical resistivity, magnetoresistivity, and the Hall effect have been studied in a topological semimetal WTe2 single crystal in the temperature range from 12 to 200 K under magnetic fields up to 9 T. It has been found that quadratic temperature dependences of the electrical resistivity in the absence of a magnetic field and the conductivity in a magnetic field are observed at low temperatures, which is apparently associated with contributions from various scattering mechanisms. Single-band and two-band models were used to analyze data on the Hall effect and magnetoresistivity. These results indicate electron-hole compensation with a slight predominance of electron charge carriers.
