Chiral anomaly induced nonlinear Hall effect in semimetals with multiple Weyl points

چکیده
After the experimental realization, Berry curvature dipole (BCD) induced nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE) has attracted tremendous interest to condensed matter community. Here, we investigate another family of effect, namely, chiral anomaly (CNHE) in multi-Weyl semimetal (mWSM). In contrast BCD-induced NLHE, CNHE appears because combination both and anomalous velocity due nontrivial curvature. Using semiclassical Boltzmann theory within relaxation time approximation, show that, linear magnitude decreases with topological charge $n$. Interestingly, find that different behaviors planes for single triple Weyl semimetals. Our prediction on behavior mWSM can directly be checked experiments.

Electromagnetic Signatures of the Chiral Anomaly in Weyl Semimetals.
Weyl semimetals are predicted to realize the three-dimensional axial anomaly first discussed in particle physics. The anomaly leads to unusual transport phenomena such as the chiral magnetic effect in which an applied magnetic field induces a current parallel to the field. Here we investigate diagnostics of the axial anomaly based on the fundamental equations of axion electrodynamics. We find t...
متن کاملWhen Chiral Photons Meet Chiral Fermions: Photoinduced Anomalous Hall Effects in Weyl Semimetals.
The Weyl semimetal is characterized by three-dimensional linear band touching points called Weyl nodes. These nodes come in pairs with opposite chiralities. We show that the coupling of circularly polarized photons with these chiral electrons generates a Hall conductivity without any applied magnetic field in the plane orthogonal to the light propagation. This phenomenon comes about because wit...
متن کاملMagnetic torque anomaly in the quantum limit of Weyl semimetals
Electrons in materials with linear dispersion behave as massless Weyl- or Dirac-quasiparticles, and continue to intrigue due to their close resemblance to elusive ultra-relativistic particles as well as their potential for future electronics. Yet the experimental signatures of Weyl-fermions are often subtle and indirect, in particular if they coexist with conventional, massive quasiparticles. H...
متن کاملQuantized circular photogalvanic effect in Weyl semimetals
The circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) is the part of a photocurrent that switches depending on the sense of circular polarization of the incident light. It has been consistently observed in systems without inversion symmetry and depends on non-universal material details. Here we find that in a class of Weyl semimetals (for example, SrSi2) and three-dimensional Rashba materials (for example, ...
متن کاملWeyl semimetals in optical lattices: moving and merging of Weyl points, and hidden symmetry at Weyl points
We propose to realize Weyl semimetals in a cubic optical lattice. We find that there exist three distinct Weyl semimetal phases in the cubic optical lattice for different parameter ranges. One of them has two pairs of Weyl points and the other two have one pair of Weyl points in the Brillouin zone. For a slab geometry with (010) surfaces, the Fermi arcs connecting the projections of Weyl points...
