Transport evidence of mass-less Dirac fermions in (Cd_1−x−yZn_xMn_y)₃As₂ (x + y = 0.4)

Abstract Charge carriers parameters on a 2D-layer surface for (Cd1−x−yZnxMny)3As2 (y = 0.08) (the concentration n 2 D = 1.9 × 1012 cm–2, the effective value of the 2D-layer d 2 D = n 2 D / n 3 D = 14.5 nm, the wave vector k F = 0.1 nm–1, the charge carriers relaxation time due to dispersion τ D = 1.8 × 10–13 s, the velocity of charge carriers on Fermi surface v F = ℏ k F / m c = 2.65 × 105 m s−1, the mean free path l F = v F τ D = 47.7 nm) were determined. It was found that the dependence of the cyclotron mass m с (0)/m0 on Fermi wave vector k F for (Cd1−x−yZnxMny)3As2 (y = 0.08) is in compliance with a theoretical linear dependence, that describes mass-less Dirac fermions.
