Popis: Quantum oscillations in both linear and Hall resistivities and weak antilocalization (WAL) are barely observed in bulk single crystals. Here we report the transport properties of a CaCuSb single crystal that crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal structure. The magnetotransport studies reveal WAL and Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) quantum oscillations with a unique frequency at 314 T. A cusp-like behavior in the low field regime of magnetotransport for J // (ab)-plane and B // [0001] confirms the WAL in CaCuSb. Angular-dependent normalized magnetoconductance and SdH oscillations studies reveal that the observed phenomena originate from the 2D transport channels. The high magnetic field (up to 45 T) experiments demonstrate plateau-like features in the Hall measurements. The first-principles calculations unfold that CaCuSb is a non-topological semimetal with dominant hole carries at the Fermi level. Our study reveals that CaCuSb is a promising candidate to explore the quasi-2D quantum transport phenomenon in the transition metal pnictide materials.
