Magnetic Weyl semimetal (MWS) is a unique topological state with open surface Fermi arc states and other exotic transport phenomena. However, most reported MWSs show multiple pairs of Weyl points and complicated Fermi surfaces, which…
Weyl degeneracies in spectra of magnetoplasma waves enable nonreciprocal energy flow and topologically protected modes, yet conventional materials require impractical magnetic fields to operate. Developing an effective Hamiltonian framework…
In time-reversal symmetry-broken Weyl semimetals, Weyl points act as monopoles and antimonopoles of the Berry curvature, with a monopole-antimonopole pair producing a net zero Berry flux. The two-dimensional (2D) planes that separate a…
In this work we predict a family of noncentrosymmetric two-dimensional (2D) Weyl semimetals composed by porous Ge and SiGe structures. These systems are energetically stable graphenylene-like structures with a buckling, spontaneously…
Weyl points (WP) are robust spectral degeneracies, which can not be split by small perturbations, as they are protected by their non-zero topological charge. For larger perturbations, WPs can disappear via pairwise annihilation, where two…
Three-dimensional topological Weyl semimetals can generally support a zero-dimensional Weyl point characterized by a quantized Chern number or a one-dimensional Weyl nodal ring (or line) characterized by a quantized Berry phase in the…
Weyl points and line nodes are three-dimensional linear point- and line-degeneracies between two bands. In contrast to Dirac points, which are their two-dimensional analogues, Weyl points are stable in the momentum space and the associated…

Weyl semimetals in three dimensions can exist independently of any symmetry apart from translations. In contrast, in two dimensions, Weyl semimetals require additional symmetries, including crystalline symmetries, to exist. Previous…
The recent discovery of a Weyl semimetal in TaAs offers the first Weyl fermion observed in nature and dramatically broadens the classification of topological phases. However, in TaAs it has proven challenging to study the rich transport…
We study the instabilities of a particle-hole symmetric Weyl metal with both electron and hole Fermi surfaces (FS) around the Weyl points. For a repulsive interaction, we find that the leading instability is towards a longitudinal…
The recent phase sensitive measurements in the superconducting $B$-phase of UPt$_3$ provide strong evidence for the triplet, chiral $k_z(k_x \pm ik_y)^2$ pairing symmetries, which endow the Cooper pairs with orbital angular momentum…
We introduce novel higher-order topological phases of matter in chiral-symmetric systems (class AIII of the tenfold classification), most of which would be misidentified as trivial by current theories. These phases are protected by…
We perform a complete classification of two-band $\bk\cdot\mathbf{p}$ theories at band crossing points in 3D semimetals with $n$-fold rotation symmetry and broken time-reversal symmetry. Using this classification, we show the existence of…
We study the emergence of topological superconductivity in a two-dimensional (2D) Weyl system, composed of stacked Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains. A previous analysis of the model showed that the addition of an attractive Hubbard…
