Neutrinos Are Nearly Dirac Fermions
Neutrino masses and mixings are analyzed in terms of left-handed fields and a 6 × 6 complex symmetric mass matrix M whose singular values are the neutrino masses. An angle xν characterizes the kind of the neutrinos, with xν = 0 for Dirac neutrinos and xν = π/2 for Majorana neutrinos. If xν = 0, then baryonminus-lepton number is conserved. When xν ≈ 0, the six neutrino masses coalesce into three...
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 کاملNegative magnetoresistance in Dirac semimetal Cd3As2
A large negative magnetoresistance (NMR) is anticipated in topological semimetals in parallel magnetic fields, demonstrating the chiral anomaly, a long-sought high-energy-physics effect, in solid-state systems. Recent experiments reveal that the Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 has the record-high mobility and positive linear magnetoresistance in perpendicular magnetic fields. However, the NMR has not ye...
متن کاملTriplet Fermions and Dirac Fermions in Borophene
Borophene is a monolayer materials made of boron. A perfect planar boropehene called β12 borophene has Dirac cones and they are well reproduced by a tight-binding model according to recent experimental and first-principles calculation results. We explicitly derive a Dirac theory for them. Dirac cones are gapless when the inversion symmetry exists, while they are gapped when it is broken. In add...
متن کاملNearly massless Dirac fermions hosted by Sb square net in BaMnSb2
Layered compounds AMnBi2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba, or rare earth element) have been established as Dirac materials. Dirac electrons generated by the two-dimensional (2D) Bi square net in these materials are normally massive due to the presence of a spin-orbital coupling (SOC) induced gap at Dirac nodes. Here we report that the Sb square net in an isostructural compound BaMnSb2 can host nearly massless D...
