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 …

Recent progress in the study of topological semimetals

A Bernevig, H Weng, Z Fang, X Dai - … of the Physical Society of Japan, 2018 - journals.jps.jp
The topological semimetal is a new, theoretically predicted and experimentally discovered,
topological state of matter. In one of its several realizations, the topological semimetal hosts …

Thermoelectric properties of Weyl and Dirac semimetals

R Lundgren, P Laurell, GA Fiete - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS

Disorder and metal-insulator transitions in Weyl semimetals

CZ Chen, J Song, H Jiang, Q Sun, Z Wang, XC **e - Physical Review Letters, 2015 - APS
The Weyl semimetal (WSM) is a newly proposed quantum state of matter. It has Weyl nodes
in bulk excitations and Fermi arc surface states. We study the effects of disorder and …

Topological nodal Cooper pairing in doped Weyl metals
