Abstract
We report the quantum transport studies on Bi2Se3 single crystal with bulk carrier concentration of ∼1019 cm–3. The Bi2Se3 crystal exhibits metallic character, and at low temperatures, the field dependence of resistivity shows clear Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) oscillations above 6 T. The analysis of these oscillations through Lifshitz–Kosevich theory reveals a non‐trivial π Berry phase coming from three‐dimensional (3D) Fermi surface, which is a strong signature of Dirac fermions with three‐dimensional dispersion. The large Dingle temperature and non zero slope of Williamson–Hall plot suggest the presence of enhanced local strain field in our system which possibly transforms the regions of topological insulator to 3D Dirac fermion metal state.
