The discovery of Weyl semimetals opens the door for searching topological semimetals in physical science. The Weyl points are generally recognized as conventional, quadratic, spin-1, and those of high topological charges. Here we report the…
Weyl semimetals are phases of matter with gapless electronic excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry. Their properties depend on the dimensions of the systems. It has been theoretically demonstrated that five-dimensional…

Materials that break time-reversal or inversion symmetry possess nondegenerate electronic bands, which can touch at so-called Weyl points. The spinor eigenstates in the vicinity of a Weyl point exhibit a well-defined chirality $\pm 1$.…
