Flavour-conserving oscillations of Dirac-Majorana neutrinos
We analyze both chirality-changing and chirality-preserving transitions of DiracMajorana neutrinos. In vacuum, the first ones are suppressed with respect to the others due to helicity conservation and the interactions with a (“normal”) medium practically does not affect the expressions of the probabilities for these transitions, even if the amplitudes of oscillations slightly change. For usual ...
متن کاملAharonov-Bohm oscillations in Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 nanowires.
Three-dimensional Dirac semimetals, three-dimensional analogues of graphene, are unusual quantum materials with massless Dirac fermions, which can be further converted to Weyl fermions by breaking time reversal or inversion symmetry. Topological surface states with Fermi arcs are predicted on the surface and have been observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments. Although t...
متن کاملSymmetry-protected ideal Weyl semimetal in HgTe-class materials.
Ideal Weyl semimetals with all Weyl nodes exactly at the Fermi level and no coexisting trivial Fermi surfaces in the bulk, similar to graphene, could feature deep physics such as exotic transport phenomena induced by the chiral anomaly. Here, we show that HgTe and half-Heusler compounds, under a broad range of in-plane compressive strain, could be materials in nature realizing ideal Weyl semime...
متن کاملDirac semimetal in three dimensions.
We show that the pseudorelativistic physics of graphene near the Fermi level can be extended to three dimensional (3D) materials. Unlike in phase transitions from inversion symmetric topological to normal insulators, we show that particular space groups also allow 3D Dirac points as symmetry protected degeneracies. We provide criteria necessary to identify these groups and, as an example, prese...
متن کاملProtected Baryon Number in Models with Majorana Neutrino
Neutrino oscillation experiments reveal that neutrinos have very small but finite masses. Since neutrinos have no masses in the standard model, we need to extend the standard model to induce the neutrino masses which coincide with the results of the neutrino oscillation experiments. It is possible that neutrino can have both of Dirac mass and Majorana mass. Majorana mass has the feature that it...
