The quantum-limit Hall effect at $\nu = nh/eB\sim O(1)$ that hosts a variety of exotic quantum phenomena requires demanding strong magnetic field $B$ and low carrier density $n$. We propose to realize quantum-limit Hall effect even in the…
Whereas bulk bismuth supports very-high mobility, light, Dirac electrons and holes in its interior, its boundaries support a layer of heavy electrons in surface states formed by spin orbit interaction in the presence of the surface electric…
When an electronic system is subjected to a sufficiently strong magnetic field that the cyclotron energy is much larger than the Fermi energy, the system enters the "extreme quantum limit" (EQL) and becomes susceptible to a number of…

Weyl fermions are a new ingredient for correlated states of electronic matter. A key difficulty has been that real materials also contain non-Weyl quasiparticles, and disentangling the experimental signatures has proven challenging. We use…
