Evidence for trivial Berry phase and absence of chiral anomaly in   semimetal NbP
  We report a detailed magneto-transport study in single crystals of NbP. High quality crystals were grown by vapour transport method. An exceptionally large magnetoresistance is confirmed at low temperature which is non-saturating and is linear at high fields. Models explaining the linear magnetoresistance are discussed and it is argued that in NbP this is linked to charge carrier mobility fluctuations. Negative longitudinal magnetoresistance is not seen, unlike several other Weyl monopnictides, suggesting lack of well defined chiral anomaly in NbP. Unambiguous Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations are observed at low temperatures that are correlated to Berry phases. The Landau fan diagram indicates trivial Berry phase in NbP crystals corresponding to Fermi surface extrema at 30.5 Tesla.
