Weyl metallic state induced by helical magnetic order

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jan Hugo Dil, Ivica Zivkovic, Jian Rui Soh, Xupeng Yang

In the rapidly expanding field of topological materials there is growing interest in systems whose topological electronic band features can be induced or controlled by magnetism. Magnetic Weyl semimetals, which contain linear band crossings near the Fermi ...

Nonlinear optical diode effect in a magnetic Weyl semimetal

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Chunyu Guo, Hao Yang

Diode effects are of great interest for both fundamental physics and modern technologies. Electrical diode effects (nonreciprocal transport) have been observed in Weyl systems. Optical diode effects arising from the Weyl fermions have been theoretically co ...

Almost cyclic regular semisimple elements in irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups

Donna Testerman

Let G be a simple linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p ≥ 0 and let φ be a nontrivial p-restricted irreducible representation of G. Let T be a maximal torus of G and s ∈ T . We say that s is Ad-regular if α(s ...

Strain Gradients and Magnetoresistance in Microstructured 3D Topological Semi-metals

Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez

Three-dimensional topological semimetals have emerged as strong candidates to probe new fundamental physical phenomena that could be exploited to develop next generation electronics. However, many aspects of their electronic properties remain unclear. Thi ...

Addressing shape and extent of Weyl cones in TaAs by Landau level spectroscopy

Ana Akrap

TaAs is a prime example of a topological semimetal with two types of Weyl nodes, W-1 and W-2, whose bulk signatures have proven elusive. We apply Landau level spectroscopy to crystals with multiple facets and identify-among other low-energy excitations bet ...

Anisotropic and nonlinear transport in microstructured 3D topological semimetals

Xiangwei Huang

Topological semimetals are frequently discussed as materials platforms for future electronics that exploit the remarkable properties of their quasiparticles. These ideas are mostly based on dispersion relations that mimic relativistic particles, such as We ...

On complete reducibility of tensor products of simple modules over simple algebraic groups

Jonathan Gruber

Let G be a simply connected simple algebraic group over an al- gebraically closed ﬁeld k of characteristic p > 0. The category of rationalG-modules is not semisimple. We consider the question of when the tensorproduct of two simple G-modules L(λ) and L(μ) ...

Optical conductivity of the type-II Weyl semimetal TaIrTe4

Ana Akrap, Konstantin Semeniuk

TaIrTe4 is an example of a candidate Weyl type-II semimetal with a minimal possible number of Weyl nodes. Four nodes are reported to exist in a single plane in k space. The existence of a conical dispersion linked toWeyl nodes has yet to be shown experimen ...

Orbital effect and weak localization in the longitudinal magnetoresistance of Weyl semimetals NbP, NbAs, TaP, and TaAs

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann

Weyl semimetals such as the TaAs family (TaAs, TaP, NbAs, NbP) host quasiparticle excitations resemblingthe long-sought-after Weyl fermions at special band-crossing points in the band structure denoted as Weylnodes. They are predicted to exhibit a negative ...

Influence of anisotropy, tilt and pairing of Weyl nodes: the Weyl semimetals TaAs, TaP, NbAs and NbP star

Davide Grassano

By means of ab initio band structure methods and model Hamiltonians we investigate the electronic, spin and topological properties of four monopnictides crystallizing in bct structure. We show that the Weyl bands around a WP W1 or W2 possess a strong aniso ...
