Abstract

We show experimental and theoretical evidence that BiTeI hosts a novel disordered metallic state named diffusive helical Fermi liquid (DHFL), characterized by a pair of concentric spin-chiral Fermi surfaces with negligible inter-valley scattering. Key experimental observations are extreme disparity of the mobility between inner and outer helical Fermi surfaces near the Weyl point and existence of the so called universal scaling behavior for the Hall resistivity. Although the extreme enhancement of the inner-Fermi-surface mobility near the Weyl point is quantitatively explained within the self-consistent Born approximation, the existence of universal scaling in the Hall resistivity shows its breakdown, implying necessity of mass renormalization in the inner Fermi-surface beyond the independent electron picture.
