الوصف: Compounds with the A15 structure have attracted extensive attention due to their superconductivity and nontrivial topological band structure. We have successfully grown Nb$_3$Sb single crystals with a A15 structure and systematically measured the longitudinal resistivity, Hall resistivity and quantum oscillations in magnetization. Similar to other topological trivial/nontrivial semimetals, Nb$_3$Sb, exhibits large magnetoresistance (MR) at low temperatures (717$\%$, 2 K and 9 T), unsaturating quadratic field dependence of MR and up-turn behavior in $\rho_{xx}$(\emph{T}) curves under magnetic field, which is considered to result from a perfect hole-electron compensation, as evidenced by the Hall resistivity measurements. The nonzero Berry phase obtained from the de-Hass van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations demonstrates that Nb$_3$Sb is topologically nontrivial. These results indicate that Nb$_{3}$Sb superconductor is also a semimetal with large MR and nontrivial Berry phase, indicating that Nb$_{3}$Sb may be another platform to search for Majorana zero-energy mode.
