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 …

Dynamics and transport at the threshold of many-body localization

S Gopalakrishnan, SA Parameswaran - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
Many-body localization (MBL) describes a class of systems that do not approach thermal
equilibrium under their intrinsic dynamics; MBL and conventional thermalizing systems form …

Negative longitudinal magnetoresistance in Dirac and Weyl metals

AA Burkov - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
It has recently been found that Dirac and Weyl metals are characterized by an unusual weak-
field longitudinal magnetoresistance: large, negative, and quadratic in the magnetic field …

Linear magnetoconductivity in an intrinsic topological Weyl semimetal

SB Zhang, HZ Lu, SQ Shen - New Journal of Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Searching for the signature of the violation of chiral charge conservation in solids has
inspired a growing passion for the magneto-transport in topological semimetals. One of the …

Rare-region-induced avoided quantum criticality in disordered three-dimensional Dirac and Weyl semimetals

JH Pixley, DA Huse, S Das Sarma - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
We numerically study the effect of short-ranged potential disorder on massless
noninteracting three-dimensional Dirac and Weyl fermions, with a focus on the question of …

Weak antilocalization and localization in disordered and interacting Weyl semimetals

HZ Lu, SQ Shen - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
Using the Feynman diagram techniques, we derive the finite-temperature conductivity and
magnetoconductivity formulas from the quantum interference and electron-electron …

Topological superconductivity of spin- carriers in a three-dimensional doped Luttinger semimetal

B Roy, SAA Ghorashi, MS Foster, AH Nevidomskyy - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We investigate topological Cooper pairing, including gapless Weyl and fully gapped class
DIII superconductivity, in a three-dimensional doped Luttinger semimetal. The latter …

Anderson localization and the quantum phase diagram of three dimensional disordered Dirac semimetals

JH Pixley, P Goswami, S Das Sarma - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
We study the quantum phase diagram of a three dimensional noninteracting Dirac
semimetal in the presence of either quenched axial or scalar potential disorder, by …

Dirty Weyl semimetals: Stability, phase transition, and quantum criticality

S Bera, JD Sau, B Roy - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We study the stability of three-dimensional incompressible Weyl semimetals in the presence
of random quenched charge impurities. Combining numerical analysis and scaling theory …

Phase diagrams of disordered Weyl semimetals

H Shapourian, TL Hughes - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Weyl semimetals are gapless quasitopological materials with a set of isolated nodal points
forming their Fermi surface. They manifest their quasitopological character in a series of …
