Recently, a new type of Weyl semimetal called type-II Weyl semimetal has been proposed. Unlike the usual (type-I) Weyl semimetal, which has a point-like Fermi surface, this new type of Weyl semimetal has a tilted conical spectrum around the…
Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have Weyl nodes where conduction and valence bands meet in the absence of inversion or time-reversal symmetry (TRS), or both. Interesting phenomena are expected in WSMs such as the chiral magnetic effect, anomalous…

A Weyl semimetal with a pair of Weyl nodes accommodates chiral states on its flat surface if the Weyl nodes are projected onto two different points in the corresponding surface Brillouin zone. These surface states are collectively referred…
