We investigate the anisotropic magnetic transports in topological semimetal TaSb2.The compound shows the large magnetoresistance (MR) without saturation and the metal-insulator-like transition no matter whether the magnetic field is parallel to c-axis or a-axis,except that the MR for B||c is almost twice as large as that of B||a at low temperatures.The adopted Kohler’s rule can be obeyed by the MR at distinct temperatures for B||c,but it is slightly violated as B || a.The angle-dependent MR measurements exhibit the two-fold rotational symmetry below 70K,consistent with the monoclinic crystal structure of TaSb2.The dumbbell-like picture of angle-dependent MR in TaSb2 suggests a strongly anisotropic Fermi surface at low temperatures.However,it finally loses the two-fold symmetry over 70K,implying a possible topological phase transition at around the temperature where Tm is related to a metal-insulator-like transition under magnetic fields.
