Popis: Abstract We study the quantum oscillations in the BiSbTe3 topological insulator. In addition to the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation, the Aharonov-Bohm-like (ABL) oscillations are also observed. The ABL oscillation period is constant at each Landau level (LL) which is determined from the SdH oscillation. The shorter ABL oscillation periods are observed at lower LLs. The oscillation period is proportional to the square root of the LL at temperatures. The ratio of the ABL oscillation period to the effective mass is weak LL dependence. The LL-dependent ABL oscillation might originate from the LL-dependent effective mass.
