Origin of the quasi-quantized Hall effect in ZrTe5

A 3D quantum Hall effect has been reported in Dirac semimetal ZrTe5 due to a magnetic-field-driven Fermi surface instability. Here, the authors show evidence of quasi-quantized Hall response without Fermi surface instability, but they argue that it is due to the interplay of the intrinsic properties...
