Here, we report a magnetotransport study of high-mobility (Cd1-xZnx)3As2 films, where the topological Dirac semimetal phase can be turned into a trivial insulator via chemical substitution. By high-field measurements with a Hall-bar geometry, magnetoresistance components ascribed to the chiral charge pumping have been distinguished from other extrinsic effects. The negative magnetoresistance exhibits a clear suppression upon Zn doping, reflecting decreasing Berry curvature of the band structure as the topological phase transition is induced by reducing the spin-orbit coupling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-06-06T17:07:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "topological phase transition", "3as2 films", "negative magnetoresistance", "topological dirac semimetal phase", "topological dirac semimetals host" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
