The topological nature of the band structure of a Weyl semimetal leads to a number of unique transport and optical properties. For example, the description of the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a Weyl semimetal with broken…
We reveal the nature of propagation and reflection of light in Weyl metals with broken time reversal symmetry, whose electromagnetic properties are described by axion electrodynamics. These Weyl metals turn out to play the role of a chiral…
Motivated by the recent proposal of giant Kerr rotation in WSMs, we investigate the Kerr and Faraday rotations in time-reversal broken multi-Weyl semimetals (mWSMs) in the absence of an external magnetic field. Using the framework of Kubo…
The ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals, such as Co3Sn2S2, feature pairs of Weyl points characterized by the opposite chiralities.We model this type of semimetals by the inversion symmetry protected and the time reversal symmetry broken Bloch…
We extend the study of fermionic particle-hole symmetric semi-Dirac (alternatively, semi-Weyo) dispersion of quasiparticles, $\varepsilon_K = \pm \sqrt{(k_x^2/2m)^2 + (vk_y)^2)} = \pm \varepsilon_0 \sqrt{K_x^4 + K_y^2}$ in dimensionless…
We consider the electromagnetic response of a topological Weyl semimetal (TWS) with a pair of Weyl nodes in the bulk and corresponding Fermi arcs in the surface Brillouin zone. We compute the frequency-dependent complex conductivities…
The Weyl semimetal is characterized by three-dimensional linear band touching points called Weyl nodes. These nodes come in pairs with opposite chiralities. We show that the coupling of circularly polarized photons with these chiral…
We demonstrate that in Weyl semimetals, the momentum-space helical spin texture can couple to the chirality of the Weyl node to generate a frequency-independent magnetization in response to circularly polarized light through the inverse…
Recently discussed topological materials Weyl-semimetals (WSs) combine both: high electron mobility comparable with graphene and unique topological protection of Dirac points. We present novel results related to electromagnetic field…
Precise probe and control of various quantum degrees of freedom in novel quantum matter are central to understanding fundamental quantum physics and hold promise for innovative routes to encode and process information. Chirality is one such…
Weyl fermions have recently been observed in several time-reversal-invariant semimetals and photonics materials with broken inversion symmetry. These systems are expected to have exotic transport properties such as the chiral anomaly.…
We investigate the charge and spin transport properties of a Weyl semimetal under an external magnetic field using a low-energy effective theory. By performing a chiral transformation, we remove the axial term from the fermionic Lagrangian,…
We show that a class of compounds with $I$4/$mcm$ crystalline symmetry hosts three-dimensional semi-Dirac fermions. Unlike the known two-dimensional semi-Dirac points, the degeneracy of these three-dimensional semi-Dirac points is not…
Weyl semimetals realize massless relativistic fermions with two Weyl nodes separated in energy and momentum space, whose low-energy physics is described by Dirac fermions with an axial gauge constant. Here, we study their electromagnetic…
We show that Weyl semimetals exhibit a mixed axial-torsional anomaly in the presence of axial torsion, a concept exclusive of these materials with no known natural fundamental interpretation in terms of the geometry of spacetime. This…
Circularly polarized light fails to generate currents in inversion-symmetric Weyl semimetals with degenerate Weyl nodes. While each node generates current with the direction depending on its chirality, the two currents in the two degenerate…
The emergent Weyl modes with the broken time-reversal symmetry or inversion symmetry provide large Berry curvature and chirality to carriers, offering the realistic platforms to explore topology of electrons in three-dimensional systems.…
Weyl fermions are two-component chiral fermions in (3+1)-dimensions. When coupled to a gauge field, the Weyl fermion is known to have an axial anomaly, which means the current conservation of the left-handed and right-handed Weyl fermions…
Materials that break time-reversal or inversion symmetry possess nondegenerate electronic bands, which can touch at so-called Weyl points. The spinor eigenstates in the vicinity of a Weyl point exhibit a well-defined chirality $\pm 1$.…
Weyl semimetals are a unique class of topological materials, possessing Fermi-arc surface states and exhibiting the chiral anomaly effect. The chiral anomaly refers to non-equilibrium charge transfer within a Weyl-node pair of opposite…
