Magneto‐chiral anisotropy: From fundamentals to perspectives

M Atzori, C Train, EA Hillard, N Avarvari… - Chirality, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The interplay between chirality and magnetic fields gives rise to a cross effect referred to as
magneto‐chiral anisotropy (MChA), which can manifest itself in different physical properties …

Giant effective magnetic moments of chiral phonons from orbit-lattice coupling

S Chaudhary, DM Juraschek, M Rodriguez-Vega… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Circularly polarized lattice vibrations carry angular momentum and lead to magnetic
responses in applied magnetic fields or when resonantly driven with ultrashort laser pulses …

Giant effective magnetic fields from optically driven chiral phonons in paramagnets

DM Juraschek, T Neuman, P Narang - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
We present a mechanism by which optically driven chiral phonon modes in rare-earth
trihalides generate giant effective magnetic fields acting on the paramagnetic 4 f spins. With …

Infinite berry curvature of Weyl Fermi arcs

D Wawrzik, JS You, JI Facio, J Van Den Brink… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We show that Weyl Fermi arcs are generically accompanied by a divergence of the surface
Berry curvature scaling as 1/k 2, where k is the distance to a hot line in the surface Brillouin …

Lattice dynamics with molecular Berry curvature: Chiral optical phonons

D Saparov, B Xiong, Y Ren, Q Niu - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS

Chiral-phonon-induced current in helical crystals

D Yao, S Murakami - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
In this paper, we theoretically show that in a helical crystal, a current is induced by chiral

Phonon helicity induced by electronic Berry curvature in Dirac materials

LH Hu, J Yu, I Garate, CX Liu - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
In two-dimensional insulators with time-reversal (TR) symmetry, a nonzero local Berry
curvature of low-energy massive Dirac fermions can give rise to nontrivial spin and charge …

Engineering exotic second-order topological semimetals by periodic driving

BQ Wang, H Wu, JH An - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Second-order topological semimetals (SOTSMs) are featured with hinge Fermi arcs. How to
generate them in different systems has attracted much attention. We propose a scheme to …

Nonreciprocal optics and magnetotransport in Weyl metals as signatures of band topology
