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 ...

Experimental observation of the acoustic Z2 Weyl semimetallic phase in synthetic dimensions

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Scalar waves such as airborne sound lack an intrinsic spin degree of freedom, making the realization of sonic Z2 topological phases based on spin degeneracy challenging. Here, we demonstrate the relevance of synthetic dimensions and higher-dimensional topo ...

Electronic Structure and Topology of Novel Materials

Antimo Marrazzo

The ground and excited electronic states are responsible for several materials' properties. The modern capability of rapidly solving on a computer the fundamental equations of relativistic or semi-relativistic quantum mechanics allows to compute the electr ...

Spin fluctuation induced Weyl semimetal state in the paramagnetic phase of EuCd2As2

Joël Mesot

Weyl fermions as emergent quasiparticles can arise in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) in which the energy bands are nondegenerate, resulting from inversion or time-reversal symmetry breaking. Nevertheless, experimental evidence for magnetically induced WSMs is scar ...

Topological states on the breathing kagome lattice

Adrien Bolens

We theoretically study the topological properties of the tight-binding model on the breathing kagome lattice with antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling (SOC) between nearest neighbors. We show that the system hosts nontrivial topological phases even without se ...

Observation of Weyl Nodes in Robust Type-II Weyl Semimetal WP2

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Joël Mesot, Gabriel Albert Autes

Distinct to type-I Weyl semimetals (WSMs) that host quasiparticles described by the Weyl equation, the energy dispersion of quasiparticles in type-II WSMs violates Lorentz invariance and the Weyl cones in the momentum space are tilted. Since it was propose ...

Thermodynamic Signatures of Weyl Fermions in NbP

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

We present a high magnetic field study of NbP—a member of the monopnictide Weyl semimetal (WSM) family. While the monoarsenides (NbAs and TaAs) have topologically distinct left and right-handed Weyl fermi surfaces, NbP is argued to be “topologically trivia ...

Non-Abelian band topology in noninteracting metals

Quansheng Wu

Electron energy bands of crystalline solids generically exhibit degeneracies called band-structure nodes. Here, we introduce non-Abelian topological charges that characterize line nodes inside the momentum space of crystalline metals with space-time invers ...

Time-reversal symmetry breaking type-II Weyl state in YbMnBi2

Spectroscopic detection of Dirac and Weyl fermions in real materials is vital for both, promising applications and fundamental bridge between high-energy and condensed-matter physics. While the presence of Dirac and noncentrosymmetric Weyl fermions is well ...

Magnetoresistance from Fermi surface topology

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

Extremely large nonsaturating magnetoresistance has recently been reported for a large number of both topologically trivial and nontrivial materials. Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the observed magnetotransport properties, yet without a ...
