Time-reversal-broken Weyl semimetal in the Hofstadter regime

نویسندگان

چکیده

We study the phase diagram for a lattice model of time-reversal-broken three-dimensional Weyl semimetal (WSM) in an orbital magnetic field $B$ with flux $p/q$ per unit cell ($0\le p \le q-1$), minimal crystalline symmetry. find several interesting phases: (i) WSM phases $2q$, $4q$, $6q$, and $8q$ nodes corresponding surface Fermi arcs, (ii) layered Chern insulating (LCI) phase, gapped bulk, but gapless states, (iii) which some bulk bands are nodes, coexisting others that topologically nontrivial, adiabatically connected to LCI (iv) new trivially (I$'$) (non-topological) counter-propagating could be out absence crystal symmetries. Importantly, we able obtain boundaries analytically all $p,q$. Analyzing gaps $p=1$ very large $q$ enables us smoothly take zero-field limit, even though diagrams look ostensibly different $q=1, B=0$, $q\to\infty, B\to 0$.

Chiral magnetoresistance in the Weyl semimetal NbP

NbP is a recently realized Weyl semimetal (WSM), hosting Weyl points through which conduction and valence bands cross linearly in the bulk and exotic Fermi arcs appear. The most intriguing transport phenomenon of a WSM is the chiral anomaly-induced negative magnetoresistance (NMR) in parallel electric and magnetic fields. In intrinsic NbP the Weyl points lie far from the Fermi energy, making ch...

Weyl semimetal in a topological insulator multilayer.

We propose a simple realization of the three-dimensional (3D) Weyl semimetal phase, utilizing a multilayer structure, composed of identical thin films of a magnetically doped 3D topological insulator, separated by ordinary-insulator spacer layers. We show that the phase diagram of this system contains a Weyl semimetal phase of the simplest possible kind, with only two Dirac nodes of opposite ch...

Weyl–Kondo semimetal in heavy-fermion systems

Insulating states can be topologically nontrivial, a well-established notion that is exemplified by the quantum Hall effect and topological insulators. By contrast, topological metals have not been experimentally evidenced until recently. In systems with strong correlations, they have yet to be identified. Heavy-fermion semimetals are a prototype of strongly correlated systems and, given their ...

Superconductivity in Weyl semimetal candidate MoTe2.

Transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted research interest over the last few decades due to their interesting structural chemistry, unusual electronic properties, rich intercalation chemistry and wide spectrum of potential applications. Despite the fact that the majority of related research focuses on semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides (for example, MoS2), recently discovere...

Broken versus Non-Broken Time Reversal Symmetry: Irreversibility and Response

We review some approaches to macroscopic irreversibility from reversible microscopic dynamics, introducing the contribution of time dependent perturbations within the framework of recent developments in non-equilibrium statistical physics. We show that situations commonly assumed to violate the time reversal symmetry (presence of magnetic fields, rotating reference frames, and some time depende...
