Rare regions and avoided quantum criticality in disordered Weyl semimetals and superconductors

JH Pixley, JH Wilson - Annals of Physics, 2021 - Elsevier
Disorder in Weyl semimetals and superconductors is surprisingly subtle, attracting attention
and competing theories in recent years. In this brief review, we discuss the current …

Holographic topological semimetals

K Landsteiner, Y Liu, YW Sun - Science China Physics, Mechanics & …, 2020 - Springer
The holographic duality allows to construct and study models of strongly coupled quantum
matter via dual gravitational theories. In general such models are characterized by the …

Topolectric circuits: Theory and construction

J Dong, V Juričić, B Roy - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
We highlight a general theory to engineer arbitrary Hermitian tight-binding lattice models in
electrical LC circuits, where the lattice sites are replaced by the electrical nodes, connected …

Non-Abelian braiding of Weyl nodes via symmetry-constrained phase transitions

S Chen, A Bouhon, RJ Slager, B Monserrat - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Weyl semimetals are arguably the most paradigmatic form of a gapless topological phase.
While the stability of Weyl nodes, as quantified by their topological charge, has been …

Disorder-induced topological quantum phase transitions in multigap Euler semimetals

WJ Jankowski, M Noormandipour, A Bouhon… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study the effect of disorder in systems having a nontrivial Euler class. As these recently
proposed multigap topological phases come about by braiding non-Abelian charged band …

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 …

Quasicrystalline second-order topological semimetals

R Chen, B Zhou, DH Xu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Three-dimensional higher-order topological semimetals in crystalline systems exhibit higher-
order Fermi arcs on one-dimensional hinges, challenging the conventional bulk-boundary …

Stability of Weyl node merging processes under symmetry constraints

G Naselli, G Frank, D Varjas, IC Fulga, G Pintér… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Changes in the number of Weyl nodes in Weyl semimetals occur through merging
processes, usually involving a pair of oppositely charged nodes. More complicated …

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 …

Non-Abelian anomalies in multi-Weyl semimetals

RMA Dantas, F Peña-Benitez, B Roy, P Surówka - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We construct the effective field theory for time-reversal symmetry-breaking multi-Weyl
semimetals (MWSMs), composed of a single pair of Weyl nodes of (anti) monopole charge n …
