The Weyl semimetal is a new quantum state of topological semimetal, of which topological surface states -- the Fermi arcs exist. In this paper, the Fermi arcs in Weyl semimetals are classified into two classes -- class-1 and class-2. Based…

Three dimensional Weyl semimetals exhibit open Fermi arcs on their sample surfaces connecting the projection of bulk Weyl points of opposite chirality. The canonical interpretation of these surfaces states is in terms of chiral edge modes…

Depending on the geometry of their Fermi surfaces, Weyl semimetals and their analogues in classical systems have been classified into two types. In type I Weyl semimetals (WSMs), the cone-like spectrum at the Weyl point (WP) is not tilted,…

Weyl semimetals (WSMs) are characterized by topologically stable pairs of nodal points in the band structure, that typically originate from splitting a degenerate Dirac point by breaking symmetries such as time reversal or inversion…

For noninteracting Weyl semimetals (WSMs), Fermi-arc surface states can arise when there exist gapless Weyl nodes in the bulk single-particle spectrum. However, in the presence of electronic correlations, it is not clear whether this…

In the recently discovered Weyl semimetals, the Fermi surface may feature disjoint, open segments -- the so-called Fermi arcs -- associated with topological states bound to exposed crystal surfaces. Here we show that the collective dynamics…

Smooth interfaces of topological systems are known to host massive surface states along with the topologically protected chiral one. We show that in Weyl semimetals these massive states, along with the chiral Fermi arc, strongly alter the…

Electron-electron interactions in a Weyl semimetal are rigorously investigated in a lattice model by non perturbative methods. The absence of quantum phase transitions is proved for interactions not too large and short ranged. The…

Weyl semimetals harbor topological Fermi-arc surface states which determine the nontrivial charge current response to external fields. We here study the quasiparticle decay rate of Fermi arc states arising from their coupling to acoustic…

Weyl semimetals (WSMs) constitute a 3D phase with linearly-dispersing Weyl excitations at low energy, which lead to unusual electrodynamic responses and open Fermi arcs on boundaries. We derive a simple criterion to identify and…

We review the differential topology underlying the topological protection of energy band crossings in Weyl semimetals, and how they lead to the experimental signature of surface Fermi arcs.

We provide a manifestly topological classification scheme for generalised Weyl semimetals, in any spatial dimension and with arbitrary Weyl surfaces which may be non-trivially linked. The classification naturally incorporates that of Chern…

We study the topological properties of 3D Floquet bandstructures, which are defined using unitary evolution matrices rather than Hamiltonians. Previously, 2D bandstructures of this sort have been shown to exhibit anomalous topological…

We present a study of "nodal semimetal" phases, in which non-degenerate conduction and valence bands touch at points (the "Weyl semimetal") or lines (the "line node semimetal") in three-dimensional momentum space. We discuss a general…

We present a semiclassical explanation for the morphology of the surface Fermi arcs of Weyl semimetals. Viewing the surface states as a two-dimensional Fermi gas subject to band bending and Berry curvatures, we show that it is the…

We study the effects of tunnelling on the band structure and Fermi arc of a time-reversal broken Weyl semimetal (WSM). When coupled to a non-magnetic parabolic band, the WSM's chiral arc state lowers in energy and forms, together with a…

Weyl fermions are shown to exist inside a parabolic band, where the kinetic energy of carriers is given by the non-relativistic Schroedinger equation. There are Fermi arcs as a direct consequence of the folding of a ring shaped Fermi…

In Weyl materials the valence and conduction electron bands touch at an even number of isolated points in the Brillouin zone. In the vicinity of these points the electron dispersion is linear and may be described by the massless Dirac…

In semimetals with time-reversal symmetry, the interplay between Weyl points and Fu-Kane-Mele indices results in coexisting surface Dirac cones and Fermi arcs that are transmutable without a topological phase transition. We show that Weyl…

The surface of a Weyl semimetal (WSM) displays Fermi arcs, i.e. disjoint segments of a two-dimensional Fermi contour. We present a quantum-mechanical non-local theory of chiral Fermi arc plasmons in WSMs with broken time-reversal symmetry.…
