High-dimensional disorder-driven phenomena in Weyl semimetals, semiconductors, and related systems
SV Syzranov, L Radzihovsky - Annual Review of Condensed …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
It is commonly believed that a noninteracting disordered electronic system can undergo only
the Anderson metal-insulator transition. It has been suggested, however, that a broad class …

Vanishing density of states in weakly disordered Weyl semimetals
The Brillouin zone of the clean Weyl semimetal contains points at which the density of states
