Abstract
The quantum oscillations of the magnetoresistance under ambient and high pressure have been studied for single crystals, in which extremely large magnetoresistance was discovered recently. By analyzing the Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations, four Fermi surfaces are identified, and two of them are found to persist to high pressure. The sizes of these two pockets are comparable, but show increasing difference with pressure. At 0.3 K and in 14.5 T, the magnetoresistance decreases drastically from under ambient pressure to under 23.6 kbar, which is likely caused by the relative change of Fermi surfaces. These results support the scenario that the perfect balance between the electron and hole populations is the origin of the extremely large magnetoresistance in .
