SdH oscillations in YPdBi crystal.

(a) The variations of ΔR_⊥ vs. 1/H, after subtracting a fitted smooth background at various temperatures. (b) Temperature dependence of the SdH oscillation amplitude ΔR_⊥ (T)/R_⊥ at 9 T. The solid line is a fit to the Lifshitz-Kosevich formula, from which we extract Landau level (LL) energy gap ΔE_N. The inset shows ΔE_N as a function of H (magnetic field positions of minima in R_⊥ corresponding to different LLs) and the effective mass: ~0.09 m_e is extracted from the slope of the linear fitting. (c) Dingle plots of ln versus 1/H at different temperatures. The Dingle temperature T_D = 6 K is calculated from the slope of the linear fit, corresponding to a carrier lifetime τ~4 × 10⁻¹³ s and an effective mobility of 7800 cm² V⁻¹s⁻¹.
