摘要

Studies of electronic transport in width-restricted channels of PdCoO2 have recently revealed a novel ‘directional ballistic’ regime, in which ballistic propagation of electrons on an anisotropic Fermi surface breaks the symmetries of bulk transport. Here we introduce a magnetic field to this regime, studying channels of PdCoO2 and PtCoO2 along two crystallographically distinct directions and over a wide range of widths. We observe magnetoresistance distinct from that in the bulk, with features strongly dependent on channel orientation and becoming more pronounced the narrower the channel. Comparison to semiclassical theory establishes that magnetoresistance arises from field-induced modification of boundary scattering, and helps connect features in the data with specific electronic trajectories. However, the role of bulk scattering in our measurements is yet to be fully understood. Our results demonstrate that finite-size magnetotransport is sensitive to the anisotropy of Fermi surface properties, motivating future work to fully understand and exploit this sensitivity.
