The effect of Anderson diagonal disorder on the topological surface (``drumhead'') states of a Weyl nodal loop semimetal is addressed. Since diagonal disorder breaks chiral symmetry, a winding number cannot be defined. Seen as a…

For first-order topological semimetals, non-Hermitian perturbations can drive the Weyl nodes into Weyl exceptional rings having multiple topological structures and no Hermitian counterparts. Recently, it was discovered that higher-order…

Although Lorentz invariance forbids the presence of a term that tilts the energy-momentum relation in the Weyl Hamiltonian, a tilted dispersion is not forbidden and, in fact, generic for condensed matter realizations of Weyl semimetals. We…
