Large Cyclotron Effective Mass Detected by de Haas–van Alphen Effect in YbCu2Si2

De Haas–van Alphen experiments were performed on the valence fluctuation compound YbCu2Si2. For the field direction close to the c-axis in the tetragonal structure, a very large cyclotron effective mass of 43 m0 was detected on branch β, which corresponds to the nearly cylindrical Fermi surface. This mass is one of the largest cyclotron masses detected experimentally in Yb compounds.

De Haas-van Alphen Effect and Fermi Surface Properties in Ferromagnet LaCo2P2 and Related Compounds

We grew single crystals of a ferromagnet LaCo2P2 and an antiferromagnet CaCo2P2, and clarified the magnetic properties by measuring the electrical resistivity, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, and magnetization. For LaCo2P2, we also carried out the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) experiment. Detected dHvA branches are well explained by the results of energy band calculations using a full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the local spin density approximation, where the ferromagnetic state is assumed. The cyclotron effective masses are (2–3)m0 (m0: rest mass of an electron). The present relatively large cyclotron masses in LaCo2P2 are due to ferromagnetic correlations of Co-3d conduction electrons, which are compared with much larger cyclotron masses of (3–7)m0 for a nearly ferromagnet SrCo2P2.

Transport Properties of Topological Insulator Bi0.83Sb0.17 Nanowires

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the transport properties of topological insulator based on single-crystal Bi0.83Sb0.17 nanowires. The single-crystal nanowire samples in the diameter range 200 nm – 1.1 μm were prepared by the high frequency liquid phase casting in a glass capillary using an improved Ulitovsky technique; they were cylindrical single-crystals with (1011) orientation along the wire axis. In this orientation, the wire axis makes an angle of 19.5o with the bisector axis C1 in the bisector-trigonal plane. Bi0.83Sb0.17 is a narrow gap semiconductor with energy gap at L point of Brillouin zone ΔE= 21 meV. In accordance with the measurements of the temperature dependence of the resistivity of the samples resistance increases with decreasing temperature, but at low temperatures decrease in the resistance is observed. This effect, decrease in the resistance, is a clear manifestation of the interesting properties of topological insulators - the presence on its surface of a highly conducting zone. The Arrhenius plot of resistance R in samples with diameter d=1.1 µm and d=200 nm indicates a thermal activation behavior with an activation gap ΔE= 21 and 35 meV, respectively, which proves the presence of the quantum size effect in these samples. We found that in the range of diameter 1100 nm - 200 nm when the diameter decreases the energy gap is growing as 1/d. We have investigated magnetoresistance of Bi0.83Sb0.17 nanowires at various magnetic field orientations. From the temperature dependences of Shubnikov de Haas oscillation amplitude for different orientation of magnetic field we have calculated the cyclotron mass mc and Dingle temperature TD for longitudinal and transverse (B||C3 and B||C2) directions of magnetic fields, which equal 1.96*10-2m0, 9.8 K, 8.5*10-3m0 , 9.4 K and 1.5*10-1m0 , 2.8 K respectively. The observed effects are discussed.

Gate tunable quantum oscillations in air-stable and high mobility few-layer phosphorene heterostructures

As the only non-carbon elemental layered allotrope, few-layer black phosphorus or phosphorene has emerged as a novel two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor with both high bulk mobility and a band gap. Here we report fabrication and transport measurements of phosphorene-hexagonal BN (hBN) heterostructures with one-dimensional edge contacts. These transistors are stable in ambient conditions for >300 h, and display ambipolar behavior, a gate-dependent metal–insulator transition, and mobility up to 4000 cm2 V−1 s−1. At low temperatures, we observe gate-tunable Shubnikov de Haas magneto-oscillations and Zeeman splitting in magnetic field with an estimated g-factor ∼2. The cyclotron mass of few-layer phosphorene (FLP) holes is determined to increase from 0.25 to 0.31 me as the Fermi level moves towards the valence band edge. Our results underscore the potential of FLP as both a platform for novel 2D physics and an electronic material for semiconductor applications.

Magnetic field spectral crossings of Luttinger holes in quantum wells

We develop an analytic approach to two-dimensional (2D) holes in a magnetic field that allows us to gain insight into physics of measuring the parameters of holes, such as cyclotron resonance, Shubnikov-de Haas effect and spin resonance. We derive hole energies, cyclotron masses, and the $g$ factors in the semiclassical regime analytically, as well as analyze numerical results outside the semiclassical range of parameters, qualitatively explaining the experimentally observed magnetic field dependence of the cyclotron mass. In the semiclassical regime with large Landau level indices, and for size quantization energy much bigger than the cyclotron energy, the cyclotron mass coincides with the in-plane effective mass, calculated in the absence of a magnetic field. The hole $g$ factor in a magnetic field perpendicular to the 2D plane is defined not only by the constant of direct coupling of the angular momentum of the holes to the magnetic field, but also by the Luttinger constants defining the effective masses of holes. We find that the $g$ factor for quasi-2D holes with heavy mass in the [001] growth direction in GaAs quantum well is $g=4.05$ in the semiclasssical regime. Outside the semiclassical range of parameters, holes behave as a species completely different from electrons. Spectra for size- and magnetic-field-quantized holes are nonequidistant, not fanlike, and exhibit multiple crossings, including crossing in the ground level. We calculate the effect of Dresselhaus terms, which transform some of the crossings into anticrossings, and the effects of the anisotropy of the Luttinger Hamiltonian on the 2D hole spectra. Dresselhaus terms of different symmetries are taken into account, and a regularization procedure is developed for the ${k}_{z}^{3}$ Dresselhaus terms. Control of the nonequidistant levels and crossing structure by the magnetic field can be used to control the Landau level mixing in hole systems, and thereby control hole-hole interactions in the magnetic field.

Improving the quantification of secondary organic aerosol using a microflow reactor coupled to HPLC-MS and NMR to manufacture ad hoc calibration standards.

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is a key uncertainty in quantifying the impact of humans on Earth's climate. SOA is a complex mixture of oxidized organic species, and a fundamental hurdle in determining its composition is the lack of authentic standards for comparison and quantification. Organic synthesis can be used to produce pure standards, but is limited to compounds for which there is a degree of confidence in the proposed structure and can be expensive and time-consuming. In this study, a flow reactor was developed to form SOA in sufficient quantities to be collected and pure compounds subsequently isolated from the mixture using semipreparative high performance liquid chromatography. The purity and yield of each isolated compound were obtained using proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR), whereas molecular formulas were confirmed by high resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS). The effectiveness of the methodology has been evaluated here by using α-pinene as the precursor because it is the monoterpene with the most well characterized SOA chemistry. Eleven individual α-pinene SOA compounds were produced from α-pinene oxidation experiments and used for quantitative analysis of SOA formed during chamber experiments carried out close to ambient conditions. These compounds represented 25% of the total SOA mass, a significant improvement in mass balance compared to previous studies. This relatively simple approach may be extended to produce other SOA components not available commercially to improve quantification of aerosol sources.

In-plane magnetic field effect on hole cyclotron mass andgzfactor in high-mobility SiGe/Ge/SiGe structures

The high-frequency (ac) conductivity of a high quality modulation doped GeSi/Ge/GeSi single quantum well structure with hole density $p$=6$\times$10$^{11}$cm$^{-2}$ was measured by the surface acoustic wave (SAW) technique at frequencies of 30 and 85~MHz and magnetic fields $B$ of up to 18 T in the temperature range of 0.3 -- 5.8 K. The acoustic effects were also measured as a function of the tilt angle of the magnetic field with respect to the normal of the two-dimensional channel at $T$=0.3 K. It is shown, that at the minima of the conductivity oscillations, holes are localized on the Fermi level, and that there is a temperature domain in which the high-frequency conductivity in the bulk of the quantum well is of the activation nature. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the conductivity at odd filling factors enables us to determine the effective $g_z$ factor. It is shown that the in-plane component of the magnetic field leads to an increase of the cyclotron mass and to a reduction of the $g_z$ factor. We developed a microscopic theory of these effects for the heavy-hole states of the complex valence band in quantum wells which describes well the experimental findings.

High-field FT-ICR mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy to characterize DOM removal through a nanofiltration pilot plant

Ultrahigh resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were combined to evaluate the molecular changes of dissolved organic matter (DOM) through an ultrafiltration-nanofiltration (UF-NF) pilot plant, using two dissimilar NF membranes tested in parallel. The sampling was performed on seven key locations within the pilot plant: pretreated water, UF effluent, UF effluent after addition of reagents, permeate NF 1, permeate NF 2, brine NF 1 and brine NF 2, during two sampling campaigns. The study showed that there is no significant change in the nature of DOM at molecular level, when the water was treated with UF and/or with the addition of sodium metabisulfite and antiscaling agents. However, enormous decrease of DOM concentration was observed when the water was treated on the NF membranes. The NF process preferentially removed compounds with higher oxygen and nitrogen content (more hydrophilic compounds), whereas molecules with longer pure aliphatic chains and less content of oxygen were the ones capable of passing through the membranes. Moreover, slight molecular selectivity between the two NF membranes was also observed.

Mechanisms involved in the gastroprotective activity of Celtis iguanaea (Jacq.) Sargent on gastric lesions in mice

Ethnopharmacological relevanceCeltis iguanaea (Canabaceae) is popularly known as esporão-de-galo, stands out among the medicinal plants used for treatment of gastric ulcers. In Brazil, the leaves they are used traditionally in infusion forms as an analgesic, antiasthmatic, digestive and diuretic. Aim of the studyThe present study was aimed to investigate the antiulcer mechanisms of hexane extract Celtis iguanaea leaves (HE) in several induced-gastric ulcer and characterize its chemical composition. Materials and methodsThe HE was obtained by exhaustive extraction in Soxhlet apparatus. The chemical characterization of HE was performed by Electrospray Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) analysis. Mice were used for the evaluation of the gastroprotective activity. HE was analyzed in the HCl/ethanol, hypothermic restraint stress ulcer and acetic acid. In the investigation of the gastroprotective mechanisms of HE, were performed the amount of adhered gastric mucus, participation of the α2-adrenoceptor, nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PGs) using the HCl/ethanol-induced gastric mucosa lesion model. ResultsESI FT-ICR MS analysis of HE suggest the presence of compounds as lipids, sterol lipids, steroids glycosides and polyphenol glycosides. The oral administration of HE at doses of 100mg/kg or 200mg/kg was able to protect the gastric mucosa against HCl/ethanol (10mL/kg p.o.), and HE at dose of 100mg/kg protected against hypothermic-restraint stress and acetic -induced gastric lesions. The pretreatment with Yoimbine (2mg/kg, s.c.), an antagonist α2-adrenergic, L-NAME (20mg/kg, s.c.), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis or indomethacin (10mg/kg, s.c.), an inhibitor of prostaglandin production, reversed the gastroprotective activity of HE (100mg/kg, p.o.). ConclusionsOur results suggest that the Celtis iguanaea HE exhibits gastroprotective activity in different gastric ulcer models. The mechanism of gastroprotective effect of Celtis iguanaea HE suggests the participation of mucus as well as the involvement of α2-adrenergic receptors, NO and prostaglandins. The hydroxyl-linolenic acid, linoleic acids and conjugated oxo-linoleic acids are among the phytoconstituents that were identified in the Celtis iguanaea HE.

Resolving the Dirac cone on the surface of Bi2Te3 topological insulator nanowires by field-effect measurements

We validate the linear dispersion relation (Dirac cone) on the surface of a single Bi2Te3 nanowire via a combination of field-effect and magnetoresistance measurements by which we unambiguously prove the topological insulator nature of the nanowire surface states. Moreover, we show that the experimentally determined carrier concentration, mobility, and cyclotron mass of the surface states are in excellent agreement with relativistic models. Our method provides a facile way to identify topological insulators that too small for angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.

Revealing ligand binding sites and quantifying subunit variants of noncovalent protein complexes in a single native top-down FTICR MS experiment.

"Native" mass spectrometry (MS) has been proven to be increasingly useful for structural biology studies of macromolecular assemblies. Using horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (hADH) and yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (yADH) as examples, we demonstrate that rich information can be obtained in a single native top-down MS experiment using Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry (FTICR MS). Beyond measuring the molecular weights of the protein complexes, isotopic mass resolution was achieved for yeast ADH tetramer (147 kDa) with an average resolving power of 412,700 at m/z 5466 in absorption mode, and the mass reflects that each subunit binds to two zinc atoms. The N-terminal 89 amino acid residues were sequenced in a top-down electron capture dissociation (ECD) experiment, along with the identifications of the zinc binding site at Cys46 and a point mutation (V58T). With the combination of various activation/dissociation techniques, including ECD, in-source dissociation (ISD), collisionally activated dissociation (CAD), and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), 40% of the yADH sequence was derived directly from the native tetramer complex. For hADH, native top-down ECD-MS shows that both E and S subunits are present in the hADH sample, with a relative ratio of 4:1. Native top-down ISD of the hADH dimer shows that each subunit (E and S chains) binds not only to two zinc atoms, but also the NAD/NADH ligand, with a higher NAD/NADH binding preference for the S chain relative to the E chain. In total, 32% sequence coverage was achieved for both E and S chains.

Analysis of high-temperature thermoelectric properties of p-type CoSb3 within a two-valence-band and two-conduction-band model

Experimental data on the thermoelectric properties of p-type CoSb3 reported by Caillat et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 80, 4442 (1996)] have been analyzed, assuming not only a pair of the first valence (v1) and the first conduction (c1) bands but also the second valence (v2) and the second conduction (c2) bands. By taking into account the excitation of carriers into the v2 and the c2 bands, the behavior of the Hall coefficient as well as that of the Seebeck coefficient at high temperatures is well explained. By taking into account the nonparabolicity of the v1 band, the temperature dependence of mobility is well explained with assuming scattering due to acoustic phonons, nonpolar and polar optical phonons, and ionized impurities. Furthermore, various material parameters of CoSb3, such as the band-gap energy, effective masses, and deformation potentials, have been deduced from fitting the calculation to the experimental data on the temperature dependences of the Hall coefficient, the mobility, and the Seebeck coefficient. Among them, the band-gap energy and the effective mass of the v1 band have been corrected from the original values estimated by Caillat et al. In addition, it is shown that the experimental data on the hole-concentration dependences of both the room-temperature Seebeck coefficient and the cyclotron mass are well reproduced by the theoretical calculation using the deduced values for the nonparabolic v1 band.

Mass spectrometry based studies of gas phase metal catalyzed reactions

Over the past three decades gas-phase catalytic cycles involving metal ions, complexes or clusters as intermediates have been discovered using either multistage mass spectrometry based experiments in trapping instruments or via flow tube methods. These studies have their foundations in: (i) the development of ion cyclotron and quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometers and the flowing afterglow technique, which date back to the 1960s; (ii) the development of ionization methods that allow the formation of gas phase metal ions, including electrospray ionization. Selected examples are reviewed that highlight the range of reaction types that are catalyzed in these processes, including: (i) oxidation of inorganic and organic substrates; (ii) decomposition of acetic acid via either water loss or decarboxylation channels (protodecarboxylation); (iii) decarboxylative CC bond coupling reactions; and (iv) the dehydrogenation and trimerisation of ethylene to form benzene.

Characterization of Highly Oxygenated and Environmentally Weathered Crude Oils by Liquid Chromatography Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR MS)

Heavy and biodegraded oils exhibit an ever increasing oxygen complexity. Electrospray ionization (ESI) coupled to FT-ICR MS highlights the most acidic and basic oxygen species; however, quantitative and qualitative information about less polar oxygenated compounds is essential to understand both the source and, potentially, the modification pathways for oxygenated crude oils. Liquid chromatography (LC) is complementary to FT-ICR MS to deconvolve crude oils according to oxygen functionality, thereby enriching oxygen species that are not easily ionized or are present in low abundance. Ketones and carboxylic acids dominate most environmentally modified crude oils; however, phenols and polyphenols are also important intermediates in both biotic and abiotic modifications. Moreover, due to the nature of the refinement process, oxygen-containing species and their intermediates can serve as chemical tracers in produced water streams and areas of rapid thermal changes that lead to gum or deposit formation. Here, we describe an analytical separation scheme for an environmentally weathered (highly oxygenated) crude oil designed to highlight carboxylic acid isolation and ketone enrichment, as well as the separation of other oxygen compounds by polarity. Experimental A weathered beach extract collected from the coast of Florida was fractionated by LC and analyzed by FT-ICR MS. LC techniques are designed to target specific oxygen functionalities (e.g., ketones, alcohols, phenols, and carboxylic acids). The mass spectra of the LC fractions were acquired with a custom-built 9.4 T FT-ICR Instrument. Positive and negative electrospray ionization serve to highlight basic and acidic oxygen species. Preliminary DataLC fractionation was performed with a silicic acid stationary phase. Four fractions correspond to aromatics, neutral nitrogen, basic nitrogen, and polar compounds. Positive ESI FT-ICR MS indicated a relative abundance for the O1 heteroatom class ranging from 2% in the whole beach extract to 12 % in the neutral nitrogen fraction. The increased relative abundance of O1 compounds suggests the enrichment of ketones from the original sample. Carboxylic acids are isolated by retention on an amine stationary phase and subsequent elution with a mixture of dichloromethane, methanol, and formic acid. Oxygen species will be further probed with new separation schemes to focus on analysis of phenols.

Active and passive smoking – New insights on the molecular composition of different cigarette smoke aerosols by LDI–FTICRMS

The aerosol generated when a cigarette is smoked is a significant indoor contaminant. Both smokers and non-smokers can be exposed to this class of pollutants. Nevertheless, they are not exposed to the same kind of smoke. The active smoker breathes in the mainstream smoke (MSS) during a puff, whereas the passive smoker inhales not only the smoke generated by the lit cigarette between two puffs (SSS) but also the smoke exhaled by active smokers (EXS). The aerosol fraction of EXS has until now been poorly documented; its composition is expected to be different from MSS. This study aims to investigate the complex composition of aerosol from EXS to better understand the difference in exposure between active and passive smokers. To address this, the in-situ laser desorption ionisation Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry (LDI–FTICRMS) was used to characterise the aerosol composition of EXS from two different smokers. Results clearly indicated many similarities between EXS samples but also significant differences with MSS and SSS aerosol. The comparison of MSS and EXS aerosol allowed the chemicals retained by the active smoker's lungs to be identified, whereas the convolution of the EXS and SSS aerosol compositions were considered relevant to the exposition of a passive smoker. As a consequence, active smokers are thought to be mainly exposed to polar and poorly unsaturated oxygenated and nitrogenated organics, compared with poorly oxygenated but highly unsaturated compounds in passive smokers.

Novel Electronic States of Heavy Fermion Compound YbCo2Zn20

We studied the heavy fermion compound YbCo2Zn20 with an electronic specific heat coefficient γ \( \simeq \) 8000 mJ/(K2·mol) by measuring the de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation, Hall effect, magnetic susceptibility, and magnetization at ambient pressure, as well as the electrical resistivity in magnetic fields of up to 320 kOe and at pressures of up to 5 GPa. The detected Fermi surfaces are small in volume, reflecting the small Brillouin zone based on the large cubic lattice constant a = 14.005 A. The cyclotron effective masses, which were determined from the dHvA experiment, are found to be markedly reduced in magnetic fields. In other words, the detected cyclotron masses of 2.2–8.9 m0 (m0: the rest mass of an electron) at Hav = 117 kOe are enhanced to 100–500 m0 at 0 kOe. By applying pressure, the heavy fermion state disappears at Pc \( \simeq \) 1.8 GPa and orders antiferromagnetically for P > Pc. The field-induced antiferroquadrupolar phase, which is observed only for \(H\parallel \langle 111\rangl...

Electronic structure, Fermi surface and dHvA effect in YIn3, LuIn3, and YbIn3

The electronic structure, Fermi surface, angle dependence of the cyclotron masses and extremal cross sections of the Fermi surface of RIn3 (R = Y, Lu, and Yb) compounds were investigated from first principles using the fully relativistic Dirac linear muffin-tin orbital method. The effect of the spin-orbit (SO) interaction and Coulomb repulsion U in a frame of the LDA + SO + U method on the Fermi surface, orbital dependence of the cyclotron masses, and extremal cross sections of the Fermi surface are examined in details. A good agreement with experimental data of cyclotron masses and extremal cross sections of the Fermi surface was achieved.

IRMPD spectroscopy of metalated flavins: structure and bonding of M(q+)-lumichrome complexes (M(q+) = Li⁺-Cs⁺, Ag⁺, Mg²⁺).

Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectra of mass selected isolated metal-lumichrome ionic complexes, M(q+)LCn with M(q+) = Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), Cs(+), Ag(+) (n = 1), and Mg(2+) (n = 2), are recorded in the fingerprint range. The complexes are generated in an electrospray ionization source coupled to an ion cyclotron mass spectrometer and the IR free electron laser FELIX. Vibrational and isomer assignments of the IRMPD spectra are accomplished by density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ level, which provide insight into the structure, binding energy, bonding mechanism, and spectral properties of the complexes. The two major binding sites identified involve metal bonding to the oxygen atoms of the two available carbonyl groups of LC (denoted O2 and O4). The more stable O4 isomer benefits from an additional interaction with the lone pair of the nearby N5 atom of LC. While M(+)LC with alkali metals are mainly stabilized by electrostatic forces, the Ag(+)LC complex reveals additional stabilization arising from partly covalent contributions. Finally, the interaction of Mg(2+) ions with LC is largely enhanced by the doubled positive charge. The frequencies of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O stretching modes are a sensitive indicator of both the metal binding site and the metal bond strength.

Cyclotron resonance study of quasiparticle mass and scattering rate in the hidden-order and superconducting phases ofURu2Si2

The observation of cyclotron resonance in ultra-clean crystals of URu2Si2 [S. Tonegawa et al., PRL 109, 036401 (2012)] provides another route besides quantum oscillations to the determination of the bulk electronic structure in the hidden order phase. We report detailed analyses of the resonance lines, which fully resolve the cyclotron mass structure of the main Fermi surface sheets. A particular focus is given to the anomalous splitting of the sharpest resonance line near the [110] direction under in-plane magnetic-field rotation, which implies peculiar electronic structure in the hidden order phase. The results under the field rotation from [110] toward [001] direction reveal that the splitting is a robust feature against field tilting from the basal plane. This is in sharp contrast to the reported frequency branch alpha in the quantum oscillation experiments showing a three-fold splitting that disappears by a small field tilt, which can be explained by the magnetic breakdown between the large hole sphere and small electron pockets. Our analysis of the cyclotron resonance profiles reveals that the heavier branch of the split line has a larger scattering rate, providing evidence for the existence of hot-spot regions along the [110] direction. These results are consistent with the broken fourfold rotational symmetry in the hidden-order phase, which can modify the interband scattering in an asymmetric manner. We also extend our measurements down to 0.7 K, which results in the observation of cyclotron resonance in the superconducting state, where novel effects of vortex dynamics may enter. We find that the cyclotron mass undergoes no change in the superconducting state. In contrast, the quasiparticle scattering rate shows a rapid decrease below the vortex-lattice melting transition temperature, which supports the formation of quasiparticle Bloch state in the vortex lattice phase.

Topological Surface Transport Properties of Single-Crystalline SnTe Nanowire

SnTe has attracted worldwide interest since its theoretical predication as topological crystalline insulator. Because of promising applications of one-dimensional topological insulator in nanoscale electronics and spintronics device, it is very important to realize the observation of topological surface states in one-dimensional SnTe. In this work, for the first time we successfully synthesized high-quality single crystalline SnTe nanowire via gold-catalyst chemical vapor deposition method. Systematical investigation of Aharonov-Bohm and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in single SnTe nanowire prove the existence of Dirac electrons. Further analysis of temperature-dependent Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations gives valuable information of cyclotron mass, mean-free path, and mobility of Dirac electrons in SnTe nanowire. Our study provides the experimental groundwork for research in low-dimensional topological crystalline insulator materials and paves the way for the application of SnTe nanowire in nanoelectronics and spintronics device.
