We study transport across junctions of a Weyl and a multi-Weyl semimetal (WSM and a MSM) separated by a region of thickness $d$ which has a barrier potential $U_0$. We show that in the thin barrier limit ($U_0 \to \infty$ and $d \to 0$ with…
We study transport properties of topological Weyl nodal-line semimetals(NLSs). Starting from a minimal lattice model with a single nodal loop, and by focusing on a normal-metal-NLS-normal-metal junction, we investigate the dependence of the…
Weyl semimetal is a solid material with isolated touching points between conduction and valence bands in its Brillouin zone -- Weyl points. Low energy excitations near these points exhibit a linear dispersion and act as relativistic…
Weyl fermions are one of the simplest objects that link ideas in geometry and topology to highenergy physics and condensed matter physics. Although the existence of Weyl fermions as elementary particles remains dubious, there is mounting…
Recent experiments have revealed spectacular transport properties of conceptually simple semimetals. For example, normal semimetals (e.g. WTe$_2$) have started a new trend to realize a large magnetoresistance, which is the change of…
We experimentally compare two types of interface structures with magnetic and non-magnetic Weyl semimetals. They are the junctions between a gold normal layer and magnetic Weyl semimetal Ti$_2$MnAl, and a ferromagnetic nickel layer and…

We present a theoretical study of the quasiparticle and subgap conductance of generic $X/I_{sf}/S_{M}$ junction with a spin-filter barrier $I_{sf}$, where $X$ is either a normal $N$ or a ferromagnetic metal $F$ and $S_{M}$ is a…
Weyl fermions are powerful yet simple entities that connect geometry, topology, and physics. While their existence as fundamental particles is still uncertain, growing evidence shows they emerge as quasiparticles in special materials called…
