Abstract

We report the measurements of de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations in the noncentrosymmetric superconductor BiPd. Several pieces of a complex multisheet Fermi surface are identified, including a small pocket (α∼40 T) which is three dimensional and anisotropic. From the temperature dependence of the amplitude of the oscillations, the cyclotron effective mass is (0.18±0.02) me. Further analysis revealed a nontrivial π-Berry phase is associated with the 40 T pocket, which strongly supports the presence of topological states in bulk BiPd.
