Observation of a singular Weyl point surrounded by charged nodal walls in PtGa

Oleg Yazyev, Jan Hugo Dil, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

Constrained by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem, in all so-far experimentally determined Weyl semimetals (WSMs) the Weyl points (WPs) always appear in pairs in the momentum space with no exception. As a consequence, Fermi arcs occur on surfaces which con ...

Generation of chiral asymmetry via helical magnetic fields
