Weyl and Dirac semimetals in three-dimensional solids

NP Armitage, EJ Mele, A Vishwanath - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
Weyl and Dirac semimetals are three-dimensional phases of matter with gapless electronic
excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry. As three-dimensional analogs of …

Discovery of Weyl fermion semimetals and topological Fermi arc states

MZ Hasan, SY Xu, I Belopolski… - Annual Review of …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Weyl semimetals are conductors whose low-energy bulk excitations are Weyl fermions,
whereas their surfaces possess metallic Fermi arc surface states. These Fermi arc surface …

Photocurrents in Weyl semimetals

CK Chan, NH Lindner, G Refael, PA Lee - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
The generation of photocurrent in an ideal two-dimensional Dirac spectrum is symmetry

The recent discovery of a Weyl semimetal in TaAs offers the first Weyl fermion observed in
nature and dramatically broadens the classification of topological phases. However, in TaAs …

Magnetic breakdown and Klein tunneling in a type-II Weyl semimetal

TE O'Brien, M Diez, CWJ Beenakker - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
The band structure of a type-II Weyl semimetal has pairs of electron and hole pockets that
coexist over a range of energies and touch at a topologically protected conical point. We …

Type-II symmetry-protected topological Dirac semimetals

TR Chang, SY Xu, DS Sanchez, WF Tsai, SM Huang… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
The recent proposal of the type-II Weyl semimetal state has attracted significant interest. In
this Letter, we propose the concept of the three-dimensional type-II Dirac fermion and …

Field-selective anomaly and chiral mode reversal in type-II Weyl materials

M Udagawa, EJ Bergholtz - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Three-dimensional condensed matter incarnations of Weyl fermions generically have a tilted
