Topological semimetals characterize a unique class of quantum materials hosting Dirac/Weyl fermions. The important features of topological fermions can be exhibited by quantum oscillations. Here, we report the magnetoresistance and Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) quantum oscillation of longitudinal resistance in the single crystal of topological semimetal candidate Ta3SiTe6 with a magnetic field up to 38 T. The periodic amplitude of the oscillations shows related information about the Fermi surface. The fast Fourier transformation spectra represent a single oscillatory frequency. The analysis of the oscillations shows the Fermi pocket with a cross sectional area of 0.13 A−2. Combining magneto-transport measurements and the first-principles calculation, we find that these oscillations come from the hole pocket. Hall resistivity and the SdH oscillations recommend that Ta3SiTe6 is a hole dominated system.Topological semimetals characterize a unique class of quantum materials hosting Dirac/Weyl fermions.
