We study the renormalization of the Fermi velocity by the long-range Coulomb interactions between the charge carriers in the Dirac-cone approximation for the effective low-energy description of the electronic excitations in graphene at half…
We report systematic theoretical studies of the inverse Faraday effect in materials with massless Dirac fermions, both in two dimensions such as graphene and surface states in topological insulators, and in three dimensions such as Dirac…
Recently, two-dimensional layered electrides have emerged as a new class of materials which possess anionic electron layers in the interstitial spaces between cationic layers. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we discover a…
Dirac semimetals (DSMs) have topologically robust three-dimensional Dirac (doubled Weyl) nodes with Fermi-arc states. In heterostructures involving DSMs, charge transfer occurs at the interfaces, which can be used to probe and control their…
We consider the minimal coupling of a thin film Dirac semimetal Hamiltonian to a generic spin-texture. A simple unitary transformation gauges away the spatial dependence in the exchange term, leading to the generation of effective…
Three-dimensional Weyl and Dirac semimetals can support a chiral-symmetry-breaking, fully gapped, charge-density-wave order even for sufficiently weak repulsive electron-electron interactions, when placed in strong magnetic fields. In the…
We investigate the quasi-particle and transport properties of a model describing interacting Dirac and Weyl semimetals in the presence of local Hubbard repulsion $U$, where we explicitly include a deviation from the linearity of the…
Recent discovery of both gapped and gapless topological phases in weakly correlated electron systems has introduced various relativistic particles and a number of exotic phenomena in condensed matter physics. The Weyl fermion is a prominent…
Klein tunneling refers to the absence of normal backscattering of electrons even under the case of high potential barriers. At the barrier interface, the perfect matching of electron and hole wavefunctions enables a unit transmission…
We theoretically study the modification of the energy spectrum of long-wavelength acoustic phonons due to the electron-phonon interaction in a three-dimensional topological Weyl semimetal under the influence of quantizing magnetic fields.…
The semi-metals having electrons near the Fermi level follow the relativistic equation of motion, and show Dirac or Weyl-type behavior. Their orbital resolved electronic bands analysis indicates the non-trivial topological states. Through…
It is widely believed that in an adiabatic limit a Fermi liquid state of an electron-phonon system described by Migdal-Eliashberg theory remains stable before a dressed phonon softens. Using Holstein model as a prototypical example and…
When a Dirac semimetal is subject to a circularly polarized laser, it is predicted that the Dirac cone splits into two Weyl nodes and a nonequilibrium transient state called the Floquet Weyl semimetal is realized. We focus on the previously…
Fermi liquid theory works very well in most normal metals, but is found violated in many strongly correlated electron systems, such as cuprate and heavy-fermion superconductors. A widely accepted criterion is that, the Fermi liquid theory…
Recent experiments reveal a significant increase in the graphene Fermi velocity close to charge neutrality. This has widely been interpreted as a confirmation of the logarithmic divergence of the graphene Fermi velocity predicted by a…
Many clever routes to Majorana fermions have been discovered by exploiting the interplay between superconductivity and band topology in metals and insulators. However, realizations in semimetals remain less explored. We ask, ``under what…
We show that the electron mobility in ideal, free-standing two-dimensional `buckled' crystals with broken horizontal mirror ($\sigma_{\rm h}$) symmetry and Dirac-like dispersion (such as silicene and germanene) is dramatically affected by…
Topological semimetals have recently attracted great attention due to prospective applications governed by their peculiar Fermi surfaces. Weyl semimetals host chiral fermions that manifest as pairs of non-degenerate massless Weyl points in…
The semi-Dirac semi-Weyl semi-metal has been of interest in recent years due to its naturally occurring point Fermi surface and the associated exotic band-structure near the Fermi surface, which is linear (graphene-like) in one direction of…
It is highly desirable to modify and improve the Dirac electron system of graphene for novel electronic properties and promising applications. For this purpose, we study 2D heterostructures consisting of graphene and monolayer TMDs by means…
