Abstract
We report the magnetoresistance, magnetothermopower and quantum oscillation study of Sb₂Te₂Se single crystal. The in-plane transverse magnetoresistance exhibits a crossover at a critical field B^* from semiclassical weak-field B² dependence to the high-field unsaturated linear magnetoresistance which persists up to the room temperature. The low-temperature Seebeck coefficient is negative in zero field contrary to the positive Hall resistivity, indicating the multiband effect. The magnetic field induced the sign reversion of the Seebeck coefficient between 2 K and 150 K, . The quantum oscillation of crystals reveals the quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) Fermi surface. These effects are possibly attributed to the large Fermi surface which touches Brillouin zone boundary to becomes quasi-2D and the variation in the chemical potential induced by the magnetic field.
