We correct erroneous conclusions from Ref.[1] regarding the values of various critical exponents, calculated to the two-loop order, and argue that $\epsilon$-expansion near two spatial dimension, with $\epsilon=d-2$ may not be reliable to…

Three dimensional Dirac semimetals are stable against weak potential disorder, but not against strong disorder. In the language of renormalization group, such stability stems from the irrelevance of weak disorder in the vicinity of the…

Weyl semimetals are paradigmatic topological gapless phases in three dimensions. We here address the effect of disorder on charge transport in Weyl semimetals. For a single Weyl node with energy at the degeneracy point and without…

The Weyl semimetals are topologically protected from a gap opening against weak disorder in three dimensions. However, a strong disorder drives this relativistic semimetal through a quantum transition towards a diffusive metallic phase…
