Dirac Point in the Charge Compensated Single-Crystal Ru3Sn7

Ru₃Sn₇ crystallizes in the cubic Ir₃Ge₇-type structure (space group <i>Im3m</i>), a class of intermetallic compounds. Previous studies focused primarily on its crystal structure, band calculations, and basic transport properties. Here, we report a systematic investigation of high-quality single crystals via electrical resistivity, Hall effect, specific heat, and thermal transport measurements. The T₃X₇ intermetallic family-with its diverse electronic ground states-provides an ideal platform for exploring such topology-property relationships. Ru₃Sn₇ exhibits metallic behavior, with consistent Hall effect and Seebeck coefficient data indicating a compensated electron-hole two-band system. Temperature-dependent modulation of electronic states near the Fermi surface alters charge carrier transport, which may imply the presence of a Lifshitz transition in Ru₃Sn₇. More importantly, magnetic quantum oscillations are observed for the first time, confirming the presence of two Dirac points in its band structure.
