We extend the study of fermionic particle-hole symmetric semi-Dirac (alternatively, semi-Weyo) dispersion of quasiparticles, $\varepsilon_K = \pm \sqrt{(k_x^2/2m)^2 + (vk_y)^2)} = \pm \varepsilon_0 \sqrt{K_x^4 + K_y^2}$ in dimensionless…

Weyl semimetals in three dimensions can exist independently of any symmetry apart from translations. In contrast, in two dimensions, Weyl semimetals require additional symmetries, including crystalline symmetries, to exist. Previous…

A Weyl semimetal (WSM) is a novel topological phase of matter, in which Weyl fermions (WFs) arise as pseudo-magnetic monopoles in its momentum space. The chirality of the WFs, given by the sign of the monopole charge, is central to the Weyl…

When a metal undergoes continuous quantum phase transition, the correlation length diverges at the critical point and the quantum fluctuation of order parameter behaves as a gapless bosonic mode. Generically, the coupling of this boson to…
