Double Weyl nodes are topologically protected band crossing points which carry chiral charge $\pm2$. They are stabilized by $C_4$ point group symmetry and are predicted to occur in $\mathrm{SrSi_2}$ or $\mathrm{HgCr_{2}Se_{4}}$. We study…

There is a close connection between various new phenomena in Weyl semimetals and the existence of linear band crossings in the single particle description. We show, by a full self-consistent mean-field calculation, how this picture is…

The recent discoveries of ferroelectric metal and Weyl semimetal (WSM) have stimulated a natural question: whether these two exotic states of matter can coexist in a single material or not. These two discoveries ensure us that physically it…

In this work we address the physics of individual three dimensional Weyl nodes subject to a moderate concentration of disorder. Previous analysis indicates the presence of a quantum phase transition below which disorder becomes irrelevant…
