In the absence of Lorentz symmetry, the pseudospin-1 counterpart of Weyl fermion (feroton) with linear dispersions and an exact flat band can emerge in condensed matter systems. The flat band branch of feroton is equivalent to the…
The only kinematically-allowed phonon-scattering events for bands of subsonic fermions ($v_F < v_p$) are interband transitions, leading to different low-$T$ transport physics than in the typical supersonic case. We apply a kinetic theory of…
