    Abstract

    We perform a detailed analysis of the magnetotransport and de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations in crystal PdGa which is predicted to be a typical chiral fermion semimetal from the CoSi family holding a large Chern number. The unsaturated quadratic magnetoresistance and nonlinear Hall resistivity indicate that PdGa may be a multiband system with slight electron-hole compensation. Angular dependence of resistivity in PdGa shows weak anisotropy with twofold or threefold symmetry when the magnetic field rotates within the (11¯0) or (111) plane perpendicular to the current. Nine or three frequencies are extracted after the fast Fourier-transform analysis of the dHvA oscillations with B[001] or B[011], respectively, which is confirmed to be consistent with the Fermi surfaces obtained from first-principles calculations with spin-orbit coupling considered.
