Abstract

We report magnetotransport measurements of PrSb in high magnetic fields. Our results show that PrSb exhibits extremely large magnetoresistance(XMR) at low temperatures. Meanwhile angle-dependent magnetoresistance measurements were used to probe the Fermi surface via Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations. The angular dependence of the frequencies of the $\alpha$-branch indicate a two-dimensional character for this Fermi surface sheet, while the effective mass of this branch as a function of angle shows a four-fold signature. The evolution of the Fermi surface with field was also studied up to 32~T. An enlargement of the Fermi surface up to 14~T is observed, before the oscillation frequencies become constant at higher fields. Meanwhile our analysis of the residual Landau index from the high field data reveals a zero Berry phase and therefore trivial topology of the Fermi surface.
