We use magneto-transport measurements to investigate the electronic structure
of WTe2 single crystals. A non-saturating and parabolic magnetoresistance is
observed in the temperature range between 2.5 to 200 K and magnetic fields up
to 8 T. Shubnikov - de Haas oscillations with beating patterns are observed.
The fast Fourier transform of the SdH oscillations reveals three oscillation
frequencies, corresponding to three pairs of Fermi pockets with comparable
effective masses , m* ~ 0.31 me. By fitting the Hall resistivity, we infer the
presence of one pair of electron pockets and two pairs of hole pockets,
together with nearly perfect compensation of the electron-hole carrier
concentration. These magnetotransport measurements reveal the complex
electronic structure in WTe2, explaining the nonsaturating magnetoresistance.Comment: Submitted to journal on 1 April, 2015, 4 Figure
