We present a theoretical investigation of the electronic band structure and optical properties of a two-dimensional anisotropic semimetal that is described by a tilted semi-Dirac type spectrum with a pair of Weyl nodes. We observe that a…
The interband optical response of a three-dimensional Dirac cone is linear in photon energy ($\Omega$). Here, we study the evolution of the interband response within a model Hamiltonian which contains Dirac, Weyl and gapped semimetal…
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…
We use a Kubo formalism to calculate both A.C. conductivity and D.C. transport properties of a dirty nodal loop semimetal. The optical conductivity as a function of photon energy $\Omega $, exhibits an extended flat background $\sigma^{BG}$…
We study the optical properties of Weyl semimetal (WSM) in a model which features, in addition to the usual term describing isolated Dirac cones proportional to the Fermi velocity $v_{F}$, a gap term $m$ and a Zeeman spin-splitting term $b$…
In this review we discuss a wide range of topological properties of electron quasiparticles in Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Their nontrivial topology is quantified by a monopole-like Berry curvature in the vicinity of Weyl nodes, as well as…
Dirac semimetals and Weyl semimetals are 3D analogs of graphene in which crystalline symmetry protects the nodes against gap formation [1-3]. Na$_3$Bi and Cd$_3$As$_2$ were predicted to be Dirac semimetals [4,5], and recently confirmed to…
We consider the optical and transport properties in a model two-dimensional Hamiltonian which describes the merging of two Dirac points. At low energy, in the presence of an energy gap parameter $\Delta$, there are two distinct Dirac points…
Thermoelectric conductance of Dirac materials and in particular zero modes reveals the effect of topology .Weyl semimetals with a boundary at z = 0 give rise to chiral zero modes with- out backscattering resulting in a significant…
Weyl semimetal (WSM) feature tilted Dirac cones and can be type I or II depending on the magnitude of the tilt parameter ($C$). The boundary between the two types is at $C=1$ where the cones are tipped and there is a Lifshitz transition.…
The linear band crossings of 3D Dirac and Weyl semimetals are characterized by a charge chirality, the parallel or anti-parallel locking of electron spin to its momentum. Such materials are believed to exhibit a ${\bf E} \cdot {\bf B}$…
We study transport in three dimensional Weyl semimetals with N isotropic Weyl nodes in the presence of Coulomb interactions or disorder at temperature T. In the interacting clean limit, we determine the conductivity by solving a quantum…
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…
A Weyl semimetallic state with pairs of nondegenerate Dirac cones in three dimensions was recently predicted to occur in the antiferromagnetic state of the pyrochlore iridates. Here, we show that the THz optical conductivity and temperature…
By making use of the Kubo formula, we calculate the conductivity of Dirac and Weyl semimetals in a magnetic field. We find that the longitudinal (along the direction of the magnetic field) magnetoresistivity is negative at sufficiently…
Dirac materials have unique transport properties, partly due to the presence of surface states. A new type of Dirac materials, protected by non-symmorphic symmetries was recently proposed by Young and Kane [1]. By breaking of time reversal…
The carrier dynamics and electronic structures of type-II Weyl semimetal candidates MoTe$_2$ and WTe$_2$ have been investigated by using temperature-dependent optical conductivity [$\sigma(\omega)$] spectra. Two kinds of Drude peaks (narrow…
Weyl semimetals have been intensely studied as a three dimensional realization of a Dirac-like excitation spectrum where the conduction bands and valence bands touch at isolated Weyl points in momentum space. Like in graphene, this property…
We study the electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity and the thermopower of Weyl and Dirac semimetals using a semiclassical Boltzmann approach. We investigate the effect of various relaxation processes including disorder and…
The current-voltage characteristics of a new range of devices built around Weyl semimetals has been predicted using the Landauer formalism. The potential step and barrier have been reconsidered for a three-dimensional Weyl semimetals, with…
