Abstract

In this chapter, we firstly introduce basic properties and related literatures of lead telluride (PbTe), and then show experimental results obtained in this study. We identified large second harmonic in FFT spectra of the quantum oscillations, and pointed out that this is an evidence for large spin-splitting in PbTe. The simple band structure and distinct spin-splitting caused by strong spin-orbit interaction in PbTe enable us to testify the evaluation of the Zeeman-cyclotron ratio, which has been proposed as a macroscopic index to find how close the system is to the ideal two-band Dirac system. Comparing our data with numerical simulation based on Lifshitz-Kosevich formula, we determined the Zeeman-cyclotron ratio to 0.52 in pristine PbTe. We also pointed out that the effect of Zeeman splitting seriously affects the Landau-level fan diagram analysis, which is widely used to extract the nontrivial Berry’s phase from the quantum oscillations.
