Fermi surface of the ferromagnetic semimetal, EuB6

We report the results of magnetoresistance and magnetization measurements o n single crystal EuB6 for temperatures above and below the ferromagnetic or dering temperatures T-C(+) = 15.3 K and T-C(-) = 12.5 K, in magnetic fields as large as 30 T. Shubnikov-de Haas and de Haas-van Alphen oscillations we re observed with four fundamental frequencies. By comparison to band-struct ure calculations, we ascribe the orbits to small pockets of electrons and h oles, centered at the X points. The effective masses and extremal areas of the pockets are in good agreement with the predictions of band-structure ca lculations. We conclude that EuB6 is an intrinsic semimetal and not a doped insulator. The intrinsic carrier concentration is 1.2x10(20) cm(-3), altho ugh our sample is somewhat uncompensated, with a 65% surplus of holes. Ther e is no appreciable modification to the Fermi-surface dimensions or carrier masses with the onset of ferromagnetism. [S0163-1829(99)01907-4].
