Non-collinear antiferromagnets can have additional spin Hall effects due to the net chirality of their magnetic spin structure, which provides for more complex spin-transport phenomena compared to ordinary non-magnetic materials. Here we…
We report a theoretical description of novel spin-orbit torque components emerging in two-dimensional Dirac materials with broken inversion symmetry. In contrast to usual metallic interfaces where field-like and damping-like torque…
Interaction driven symmetry breaking in a metallic (doped) Dirac system can manifest in the spontaneous gap generation at the nodal point buried below the Fermi level. Across this transition linear conductivity remains finite making its…
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 theoretically predict a generation of a current in Weyl semimetals by applying circularly polarized light. The electric field of the light can drive an effective magnetic field of order of ten Tesla. For lower frequency light, a…
We investigate the effect of a vertical electric field on a Dirac semimetal thin film. We show that through the interplay between the quantum confinement effect and the field-induced coupling between sub-bands, the sub-band gap can be tuned…
A low-energy model is built to study systems such as Dirac/Weyl semimetals, according to statistical quantum electrodynamics formalism. We report that the introduction of a pseudoscalar, associated to longitudinal photons propagating along…
Topological semimetals, representing a new topological phase that lacks a full bandgap in bulk states and exhibiting nontrivial topological orders, recently have been extended to photonic systems, predominantly in photonic crystals and to a…
It has been predicted that emergent chiral magnetic fields can be generated by crystal deformation in Weyl/Dirac metals and superconductors. The emergent fields give rise to chiral anomaly phenomena as in the case of Weyl semimetals with…
Breaking time-reversal symmetry in a Dirac semimetal Cd$_3$As$_2$ through doping with magnetic ions or by the magnetic proximity effect is expected to cause a transition to other topological phases (such as a Weyl semimetal). To this end,…
Spin Seebeck effect (SSE) refers to the creation of spin currents due to a temperature gradient in the magnetic materials or across magnet-normal metal interfaces, which can be electrically detected through the inverse spin Hall effect…
The chiral magnetic effect is the generation of electric current induced by chirality imbalance in the presence of magnetic field. It is a macroscopic manifestation of the quantum anomaly in relativistic field theory of chiral fermions…
The origin of spin-orbit interaction of light at a conventional optical interface lies in the transverse nature of the photon polarization: The polarizations associated with the plane-wave components experience slightly different rotations…
When graphene is placed on a monolayer of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) its band structure develops rich spin textures due to proximity spin-orbital effects with interfacial breaking of inversion symmetry. In this…
We use determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) simulations to study the role of electron-electron interactions on three-dimensional (3D) Dirac fermions based on the $\pi$-flux model on a cubic lattice. We show that the Hubbard interaction…
We report an above-room-temperature ferromagnetic state realized in a proximitized Dirac semimetal, which is fabricated by growing typical Dirac semimetal Cd$_3$As$_2$ films on a ferromagnetic garnet with strong perpendicular magnetization.…
A pair of Dirac points (analogous to a vortex-antivortex pair) associated with opposite topological numbers (with $\pm\pi$ Berry phases) can be merged together through parameter tuning and annihilated to gap the Dirac spectrum, offering a…
In most Dirac semimetals, time-reversal and inversion symmetries are believed to play a crucial role in their stability. We demonstrate that these symmetries are broken in Dirac fermions in the organic conductor $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$…
Anomalous Nernst effect generates a transverse voltage perpendicular to the temperature gradient. It has several advantages compared with the longitudinal thermoelectricity for energy conversion, such as decoupling of electronic and thermal…
Periodically driven systems can host many interesting and intriguing phenomena. The irradiated two-dimensional Dirac systems, driven by circularly polarized light, are the most attractive thanks to intuitive physical view of the absorption…
