Abstract
The noncentrosymmetric superconductor α-PdBi is a candidate material for the realization of topological superconductivity. Here, we present a detailed de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) study together with band-structure calculations within the framework of density functional theory. The rich dHvA spectra are a manifestation of the 13 bands that cross the Fermi energy EF. We find excellent agreement between calculated and experimentally observed dHvA frequencies with moderately enhanced effective masses. One of the bands crossing EF, the so-called α band, exhibits topological character with Weyl nodes lying 43 meV below EF.
