We consider theoretically surface plasmon polaritons in Weyl semimetals. These materials contain pairs of band touching points - Weyl nodes - with a chiral topological charge, which induces an optical anisotropy and anomalous transport…

Recent experimental realization of long sought Weyl fermions in non-magnetic crystals has greatly motivated condensed matter physicists to search for materials supporting Weyl fermions. Weyl fermions appear to be very promising for future…

The Nielsen--Ninomiya theorem requires that the total topological chiral charges in a crystal vanish, a constraint typically satisfied by identical nodes like Weyl--Weyl pairs. Whether a minimal heterogeneous configuration -- comprising a…

Topological nodal-line semimetals with exotic quantum properties are characterized by symmetry-protected line-contact bulk band crossings in the momentum space. However, in most of identified topological nodal-line compounds, these…

By means of $ab \ initio$ band structure methods and model Hamiltonians we investigate the electronic, spin and topological properties of four monopnictides crystallizing in body centered tetragonal structure. We show that the Weyl bands…

In electronics systems, the Weyl points can be classified into three types based on the geometry of the Fermi surface, and each type exhibits various unique and intriguing phenomena. While the type-I and type-II Weyl points have been…

We theoretically study the quantum anomalies in the superconducting Weyl metals based on the topological field theory. It is demonstrated that the Fermi arc and the surface Andreev bound state, characteristic of the superconducting Weyl…

We theoretically study three-dimensional topological semimetals (TSMs) with nodal lines protected by crystalline symmetries. Compared with TSMs with point nodes, e.g., Weyl semimetals and Dirac semimetals, where the conduction and the…

In Weyl semimetals, charge density wave (CDW) order can spontaneously break the chiral symmetry, gap out the Weyl nodes, and drive the material into the axion insulating phase. Investigations have however been limited since CDWs are rarely…

Phonons are ubiquitous quasiparticles in solid state systems describing the quantized vibrations of a crystal lattice. Phonons play a central role in a wide range of physical phenomena, from transport to symmetry-breaking orders, such as…

Even if Weyl semimetals are characterized by quasiparticles with well-defined chirality, exploiting this experimentally is severely hampered by Weyl lattice-fermions coming in pairs with opposite chirality, typically causing the net…

The ideas of topology have found tremendous success in Hermitian physical systems, but even richer properties exist in the more general non-Hermitian framework. Here, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a new…

The quantum chiral anomaly enables a nearly dissipationless current in the presence of chirality imbalance and magnetic field -- this is the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME), observed recently in Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Here we propose to…

By using first-principles calculations, we propose that WC-type ZrTe is a new type of topological semimetal (TSM). It has six pairs of chiral Weyl nodes in its first Brillouin zone, but it is distinguished from other existing TSMs by having…

Discovered in high-energy physics, the chiral anomaly has recently made way to materials science by virtue of Weyl semimetals (WSM). Thus far, the main efforts to probe the chiral anomaly in WSM have concentrated on electronic phenomena.…

Novel quasi two dimensional typically layered semimetals offer a unique opportunity to control the density and even the topology of the electronic matter. In intercalated MoTe2 type II Weyl semimetal the tilt of the dispersion relation…

Ideal Weyl points, which are related by symmetry and thus reside at the same frequency, could promote the deep development and utilization of the Weyl physics. Although the ideal type-I Weyl points have been achieved in photonic crystals,…

The recently discovered type-II Weyl points appear at the boundary between electron and hole pockets. Type-II Weyl semimetals that host such points are predicted to exhibit a new type of chiral anomaly and possess thermodynamic properties…

Topological semimetals, such as the Weyl and Dirac semimetals, represent one of the most active research fields in modern condensed matter physics. The peculiar physical properties of these systems mainly originate from their underlying…

Based on the first-principles study, we report a new set of topological semimetals (TiS, TiSe, TiTe, HfS, HfSe, HfTe and ZrS) which show the co-existence of a nodal-ring and triply-degenerate points. The two-fold degenerate one-dimensional…
