Abstract
The past decade has witnessed the burgeoning discovery of a variety of topological states of matter with distinct nontrivial band topologies. Thus far, most materials that have been studied possess two-dimensional or three-dimensional electronic structures, with only a few exceptions that host quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) topological electronic properties. Here we present clear-cut evidence for Dirac Fermions in the quasi-1D telluride TaNiTe5. We show that its transport behaviors are highly anisotropic, and we observe nontrivial Berry phases via quantum oscillation measurements. The nontrivial band topology is further corroborated by first-principles calculations. Our results may help to guide the future quest for topological states in this new family of quasi-1D ternary chalcogenides.
