چکیده

Weyl fermions (WFs) in the type-II semimetal (WSM) ${\mathrm{WTe}}_{2}$ are difficult to resolve experimentally because bands disperse an extremely narrow region of ($E\text{\ensuremath{-}}k$) space. Here, by using DFT-assisted high-resolution $^{125}\mathrm{Te}$ solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) temperature range 50--700 K, we succeeded detecting low energy WF excitations and monitoring their evolution with temperature. Remarkably, WFs observed emerge at $T\ensuremath{\sim}120$ while lower temperatures behaves as a trivial metal. This intriguing phenomenon is induced rapid raise Fermi level upon heating, which crosses only for $T&gt;120$ K. The abrupt change NMR parameters this signature topological Lifshitz transition instead cursive energy-bands crossing.

New type of Weyl semimetal with quadratic double Weyl fermions.

Weyl semimetals have attracted worldwide attention due to their wide range of exotic properties predicted in theories. The experimental realization had remained elusive for a long time despite much effort. Very recently, the first Weyl semimetal has been discovered in an inversion-breaking, stoichiometric solid TaAs. So far, the TaAs class remains the only Weyl semimetal available in real mater...

A Weyl Fermion semimetal with surface Fermi arcs in the transition metal monopnictide TaAs class

Weyl fermions are massless chiral fermions that play an important role in quantum field theory but have never been observed as fundamental particles. A Weyl semimetal is an unusual crystal that hosts Weyl fermions as quasiparticle excitations and features Fermi arcs on its surface. Such a semimetal not only provides a condensed matter realization of the anomalies in quantum field theories but a...

π Berry phase and Zeeman splitting of Weyl semimetal TaP

The recent breakthrough in the discovery of Weyl fermions in monopnictide semimetals provides opportunities to explore the exotic properties of relativistic fermions in condensed matter. The chiral anomaly-induced negative magnetoresistance and π Berry phase are two fundamental transport properties associated with the topological characteristics of Weyl semimetals. Since monopnictide semimetals...
