We construct a top-down holographic model of Weyl semimetal states using $(3+1)$-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory, at large $N_c$ and strong coupling, coupled to a number $N_f \ll N_c$ of…
Weyl semimetals may open a new era in condensed matter physics because they provide the first example of Weyl fermions, realize a new topological classification even though the system is gapless, exhibit Fermi arc surface states and…
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 fermions are shown to exist inside a parabolic band, where the kinetic energy of carriers is given by the non-relativistic Schroedinger equation. There are Fermi arcs as a direct consequence of the folding of a ring shaped Fermi…

As they do not rely on the presence of any crystal symmetry, Weyl nodes are robust topological features of an electronic structure that can occur at any momentum and energy. Acting as sinks and sources of Berry curvature, Weyl nodes have…

We investigate magnetotransport across an interface between two Weyl semimetals whose Weyl nodes project onto different interface momenta. Such an interface generically hosts Fermi arcs that connect Weyl nodes of identical chirality in…

We present a physical scenario in which both Fermi arcs and two-dimensional gapless Dirac states coexist as boundary modes at the same two-dimensional surface. This situation is realized in topological insulator-Weyl semimetal interfaces in…
An axion insulator is a correlated topological phase, predicted to arise from the formation of a charge density wave in a Weyl semimetal. The accompanying sliding mode in the charge density wave phase, the phason, is an axion. It is…
We show that Weyl semimetals with broken time-reversal symmetry can host chiral electromag- netic waves. The magnetization that results in a momentum space separation of a pair of opposite chirality Weyl nodes is also responsible for the…
Double-Weyl fermions, as novel topological states of matter, have been mostly discussed in nonmagnetic materials. Here, based on density-functional theory and symmetry analysis, we propose the realization of fully spin-polarized double-Weyl…
A developing frontier in condensed matter physics is the emergence of novel electromagnetic responses, such as topological and anomalous Hall effect (AHE), in ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals (FM-WSMs). Candidates of FM-WSM are limited to…
Fermi arcs are one of the characteristic features of Weyl semimetals, appearing as surface states that connect Weyl points with opposite chiralities. It has also been suggested that Fermi arcs can emerge in the bulk due to the interplay…
