Crystalline axion electrodynamics in charge-ordered Dirac semimetals

J May-Mann, MR Hirsbrunner, L Gioia, TL Hughes - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Three-dimensional Dirac semimetals can be driven into an insulating state by coupling to a
charge density wave (CDW) order. Here, we consider the quantized crystalline responses of …

Gapless fermionic systems as phase-space topological insulators: Nonperturbative results from anomalies

TL Hughes, Y Wang - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We present a theory unifying the topological responses and anomalies of various gapless
fermion systems exhibiting Fermi surfaces, including those with Berry phases, and nodal …
