Abstract

We theoretically analyze the Fano interference in a single impurity multi-Weyl semimetal hybrid system and show the emergence of the topological charge Fano effect in the bulk local density of states. In multi-Weyl semimetals, the number of Fermi arcs at the system boundaries is determined by the topological charge JJ, a direct consequence of the "bulk-boundary" correspondence principle. Analogously, we find that JJ also modulates the bulk Fano profile of the system with an embedded quantum impurity. Thus, by increasing JJ, the Fano lineshape evolves from resonant, typical for J=1J=1 (single Weyl), towards antiresonant, extrapolating to the so-called hyper Weyl semimetals with J1J\gg1. Specially for the maximum case protected by the rotational symmetry C2J=6C_{2J=6}, namely the J=3J=3 (triple Weyl), which acquires asymmetric Fano profile, the Fano parameter absolute value is predicted to be tan(C2J=6)\tan(C_{2J=6}), where C2J(360/2J)C_{2J}\equiv(360^{\circ}/2J) defines the rotational angle. Hence, the Fano discretization in the JJ term introduces the topological charge Fano effect in multi-Weyl semimetals. We also suggest a transport device where we expect that the proposed Fano effect could be detected.
