Anisotropic and nonlinear transport in microstructured 3D topological semimetals

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 ...

Magnetic structure of the topological semimetal Co3Sn2S2

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Jian Rui Soh

Co3Sn2S2 has recently been predicted to be a Weyl semimetal in which magnetic order is key to its behavior as a topological material. Here, we report unpolarized neutron diffraction and spherical neutron polarimetry measurements, supported by magnetization ...

Canted antiferromagnetic phases in the candidate layered Weyl material EuMnSb2

Xiao Wang

EuMnSb2 is a candidate topological material which can be tuned towards a Weyl semimetal, but there are differing reports for its antiferromagnetic (AFM) phases. The coupling of bands dominated by pure Sb layers hosting topological fermions to Mn and Eu mag ...

Observation of a singular Weyl point surrounded by charged nodal walls in PtGa

Oleg Yazyev, Jan Hugo Dil, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

Constrained by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem, in all so-far experimentally determined Weyl semimetals (WSMs) the Weyl points (WPs) always appear in pairs in the momentum space with no exception. As a consequence, Fermi arcs occur on surfaces which con ...

Experimental Observation and Spin Texture of Dirac Node Arcs in Tetradymite Topological Metals

Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Ji Dai

We report the observation of a nontrivial spin texture in Dirac node arcs, i.e., novel topological objects formed when Dirac cones of massless particles extend along an open one-dimensional line in momentum space. We find that such states are present in al ...

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 ...

Weyl fermions, Fermi arcs, and minority-spin carriers in ferromagnetic CoS2

Thorsten Schmitt, Vladimir N. Strocov, Timur Kim, Samuel Thomas Stolz

Magnetic Weyl semimetals are a newly discovered class of topological materials that may serve as a platform for exotic phenomena, such as axion insulators or the quantum anomalous Hall effect. Here, we use angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and ab i ...

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 ...

Non-Abelian reciprocal braiding of Weyl points and its manifestation in ZrTe

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu

Weyl points in three-dimensional systems with certain symmetry carry non-Abelian topological charges, which can be transformed via non-trivial phase factors that arise upon braiding these points inside the reciprocal space. Weyl semimetals in three-dimensi ...

Topological Fermi-arc surface resonances in bcc iron

Oleg Yazyev, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez, Gabriel Albert Autes

The topological classification of matter has been extended to include semimetallic phases characterized by the presence of topologically protected band degeneracies. In Weyl semimetals, the foundational gapless topological phase, chiral degeneracies are is ...
