Chiral magnetoresistance in the Weyl semimetal NbP
NbP is a recently realized Weyl semimetal (WSM), hosting Weyl points through which conduction and valence bands cross linearly in the bulk and exotic Fermi arcs appear. The most intriguing transport phenomenon of a WSM is the chiral anomaly-induced negative magnetoresistance (NMR) in parallel electric and magnetic fields. In intrinsic NbP the Weyl points lie far from the Fermi energy, making ch...
متن کاملNew type of Weyl semimetal with quadratic double Weyl fermions.
Weyl semimetals have attracted worldwide attention due to their wide range of exotic properties predicted in theories. The experimental realization had remained elusive for a long time despite much effort. Very recently, the first Weyl semimetal has been discovered in an inversion-breaking, stoichiometric solid TaAs. So far, the TaAs class remains the only Weyl semimetal available in real mater...
متن کاملBeyond Dirac and Weyl Fermions
An international team of researchers has predicted the existence of several previously unknown types of quantum particles in materials. The particles— which belong to the class of particles known as fermions—can be distinguished by several intrinsic properties, such as their responses to applied magnetic and electric fields. In several cases, fermions in the interior of the material show their ...
متن کاملPhenomenology of a semi-Dirac semi-Weyl semimetal
We extend the semiclassical study of fermionic particle-hole symmetric semi-Dirac (more appropriately, semiDirac semi-Weyl) dispersion of quasiparticles, εK = ± √ (k2 x/2m) + (vky)) = ±ε0 √ K4 x +K2 y in dimensionless units, discovered computationally in oxide heterostructures by Pardo and collaborators. This unique system is a highly anisotropic sister phase of both (symmetric) graphene and wh...
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...
