space. In spite of extensive transport and spectroscopic studies on its exotic properties, the …

Transport, refraction, and interface arcs in junctions of Weyl semimetals

F Buccheri, R Egger, A De Martino - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We study the low-energy single-electron transport across a junction of two magnetic Weyl
semimetals, in which the anisotropy axes are tilted one respect to the other. Using a two …

Infinite berry curvature of Weyl Fermi arcs

D Wawrzik, JS You, JI Facio, J Van Den Brink… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We show that Weyl Fermi arcs are generically accompanied by a divergence of the surface
Berry curvature scaling as 1/k 2, where k is the distance to a hot line in the surface Brillouin …

Direct topological insulator transitions in three dimensions are destabilized by nonperturbative effects of disorder

Y Fu, JH Wilson, DA Huse, JH Pixley - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We reconsider the phase diagram of a three-dimensional Z 2 topological insulator in the
presence of short-ranged potential disorder, with the insight that nonperturbative rare states …

Nodal points of Weyl semimetals survive the presence of moderate disorder

M Buchhold, S Diehl, A Altland - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
In this work we address the physics of individual three-dimensional Weyl nodes subject to a
moderate concentration of disorder. Previous analysis indicates the presence of a quantum …
