We propose a torsional response raised by lattice dislocation in Weyl semimetals akin to chiral magnetic effect; i.e. a fictitious magnetic field arising from screw or edge dislocation induces charge current. We demonstrate that, in sharp…
The Weyl semimetal, due to a non-zero energy difference in the pair of Weyl nodes shows chiral magnetic effect(CME). This leads to a flow of dissipationless electric current along an applied magnetic field. Such a chiral magnetic effect in…

Weyl fermions, which are fermions with definite chiralities, can give rise to anomalous breaking of the symmetry of the physical system which they are a part of. In their (3+1)-dimensional realizations in condensed matter systems, i.e., the…
When the right and the left handed Weyl points are separated in energy, they give rise to a non-dissipative charge current along the direction of a uniform applied magnetic field, even in the absence of an external electric field. This…

We predict a nonlinear Hall effect in certain Weyl semimetals with broken inversion symmetry. When the energy dispersions about pairs of Weyl nodes are skewed -- the Weyl cones are "tilted" -- the concerted actions of the anomalous velocity…
We present the first theoretical study of transport properties of Weyl semimetals with point defects. Focusing on a class of time-reversal symmetric Weyl lattice models, we show that dilute lattice vacancies induce a finite density of…
This is a PhD dissertation. Ignited by the chiral anomaly of recently discovered Weyl (semi-)metals, we study the chiral magnetic effect and the natural optical activity of noncentrosymmetric metals. Both phenomena are related to the…
We study the propagation of an oscillatory electromagnetic field inside a Weyl semimetal. In conventional conductors, the motion of the charge carriers in the skin layer near the surface can be diffusive, ballistic, or hydrodynamic. We show…
The nodal points in a Weyl semimetal are generally considered as the causes of the chiral anomaly and the chiral magnetic effect (CME). Employing a linear-response analysis of a two-band lattice model, we show that the Weyl nodes and thus…
