Remarkable d Hv A oscillations are emerged at a low field about 1.5 T. From the analyses of the d Hv A oscillations, we extract the high quantum mobilities, light effective masses and phase shift factors for the Dirac fermions in pyrite PtBi2. From the angular dependence of the d Hv A oscillations, we map out the topology of the Fermi surface.Furthermore, we identify two additional oscillation frequencies that are not probed by the Sd H oscillations, which provides us with opportunities to further understand its Fermi surface topology.展开更多
