Thermal and electrical transport behavior of topological insulator ZrTe<sub>5</sub>

We report a study of electric, thermoelectric, thermodynamic measurements and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of single crystals of topological insulator candidate ZrTe₅ grown by both chemical vapor transport and flux method. The transport response is characteristic of a small gap semiconductor with band parameters consistent with those observed by ARPES. The thermoelectric response shows a significant enhancement in magnetic field and unconventional behavior in the quantum limit. We discuss the possible mechanisms underlying these observations in the context of the band properties deduced from our probes of fermiology.
