Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) Dirac semimetals are 3D analogues of graphene, which display Dirac points with linear dispersion in k-space, stabilized by crystal symmetry. Cd3As2 has been predicted to be 3D Dirac semimetals and was subsequently demonstrated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. As unveiled by transport measurements, several exotic phases, such as Weyl semimetals, topological insulators, and topological superconductors, can be deduced by breaking time reversal or inversion symmetry. Here, we reported a facile and scalable chemical vapor deposition method to fabricate high-quality Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 microbelts; they have shown ultrahigh mobility up to 1.15 × 10(5) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) and pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. Such extraordinary features are attributed to the suppression of electron backscattering. This research opens a new avenue for the scalable fabrication of Cd3As2 materials toward exciting electronic applications of 3D Dirac semimetals.
