The role of collective longitudinal modes, plasmons, in bulk hydrodynamic transport in Weyl semimetals is explored. In contrast to graphene, where these modes are gapless, plasmons in Weyl semimetals are gapped. This gap, however, can be…

A Weyl semimetal is a three dimensional topological gapless phase. In the presence of strong enough disorder it undergoes a quantum transition towards a diffusive metal phase whose universality class depends on the range of disorder…
We study dynamical instability and chiral symmetry breaking in three dimensional Weyl semimetals, which turns Weyl semimetals into "axion insulators". Charge density waves (CDW) is found to be the natural consequence of the chiral symmetry…

The plasmon frequency in standard electron gases with a parabolic single-particle dispersion is a purely classical quantity that is not sensitive to electron interactions or the equation of state. We demonstrate that this canonical result…
The shift current responses of two-dimensional systems in the gapless limit are investigated. As the energy gap becomes smaller, the interband transition probability becomes larger at the band edges. We found the divergence of the shift…
We argue that the correct definition of the electric current in the chiral kinetic theory for Weyl materials should include the Chern-Simons contribution that makes the theory consistent with the local conservation of the electric charge in…
We study inversion-symmetry (IS) breaking in impurity dimers coupled to topological multi-Weyl systems in the low-energy dispersion domain. In the IS-preserved multi-Weyl semimetal phase, Hubbard bands split into symmetric and antisymmetric…
Mode conversion of transverse electromagnetic waves into longitudinal oscillations and the associated resonant absorption of wave energy in inhomogeneous plasmas is a phenomenon that has been studied extensively in plasma physics. We show…
Using state-of-the-art many-body calculations based on the `GW plus cumulant' approach, we show that electron-plasmon interactions lead to the emergence of plasmonic polaron bands in the band structures of common semiconductors. Using…
Transverse plasma polaritons and longitudinal plasmons describe the propagation of light-matter modes in an isotropic metal. However, in a layered metal the anisotropy of the bare electromagnetic response mixes the longitudinal and…
