Large magnetoresistance and Fermi surface topology of PrSb

We report magnetotransport measurements of PrSb in high magnetic fields. Our results show that PrSb exhibits large magnetoresistance at low temperatures. Meanwhile angle-dependent magnetoresistance measurements were used to probe the Fermi surface via Shubnikov--de Haas oscillations. We found that the angular dependence of the oscillation frequency of the α branch can be explained well by a model for a two-dimensional-like Fermi surface, whereas the effective mass of this branch as a function of angle shows a fourfold signature. The evolution of the Fermi surface with increasing magnetic field also was studied up to 32 T. A continuous increase in the oscillation frequency up to 14 T is observed before it becomes 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.
