Probing the Type-II Dirac Semimetal Platinum Ditelluride(PtTe<sub>2)</sub> through Electronic Transport Measurements at Low Temperatures

POSTER

Abstract

Platinum Ditelluride (PtTe2) is a member of a class of materials called Type II Dirac Semimetals (DSMs) that have low energy fermionic excitations governed by the Dirac equation. Most importantly, Dirac fermions in these materials are not constraint by the Lorentz invariance. In view of understanding the electronic properties of random Cr alloys of PtTe2 that are known to be air-stable layered ferromagnets, we present preliminary electronic transport measurements at low temperatures of thin PtTe2 crystals.
