Abstract
A linear magnetoresistance (LMR) with strong temperature dependence and peculiar non-symmetry with respect to the applied magnetic field is observed in high-index (221) Bi2Se3 films. Different from the LMR observed in the previous studies which emphasize the role of gapless linear energy dispersion, this LMR is of disorder origin and possibly arises from the electron surface accumulation layer of the film. Besides, an abnormal negative magneto-resistance that shows a non-monotonic temperature dependence and persists even at high temperatures and in strong magnetic fields is also observed.
