We study the effect of disorder on the spacetime supersymmetry that is proposed to emerge at the quantum critical point of pair density wave transition in (2+1)D Dirac semimetals and (3+1)D Weyl semimetals. In the (2+1)D Dirac semimetal, we…

Diffusion, a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, is a consequence of particle number conservation and locality, in systems with sufficient damping. In this paper we consider diffusive processes in the bulk of Weyl semimetals, which are exotic…
Topological Weyl semimetals, besides manifesting chiral anomaly, can also accommodate a disorder-driven unconventional quantum phase transition into a metallic phase. A fundamentally and practically important question in this regard…
Three-dimensional Dirac and Weyl semimetals exhibit a disorder-induced quantum phase transition between a semimetallic phase at weak disorder and a diffusive-metallic phase at strong disorder. Despite considerable effort, both numerically…
Typical Weyl semimetals host chiral surface states and hence show an anomalous Hall response. Although a Weyl semimetal phase is known to be robust against weak disorder, the influence of disorder on chiral states is not fully clarified so…
Disorder effects are especially pronounced around nodal points in linearly dispersing bandstructures as present in graphene or Weyl semimetals. Despite the enormous experimental and numerical progress, even a simple quantity like the…

The double Weyl semimetal (DWSM) is a newly proposed topological material that hosts Weyl points with chiral charge n=2. The disorder effect in DWSM is investigated by adopting the tight-binding Hamiltonian. Using the transfer matrix method…
