Topological Fermi-arc surface resonances in bcc iron

Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Albert Autes, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez

The topological classification of matter has been extended to include semimetallic phases characterized by the presence of topologically protected band degeneracies. In Weyl semimetals, the foundational gapless topological phase, chiral degeneracies are is ...

Emergence of Nontrivial Low-Energy Dirac Fermions in Antiferromagnetic EuCd2As2

Joël Mesot, Thomas Pierre Richard Zilliox

Parity-time symmetry plays an essential role for the formation of Dirac states in Dirac semimetals. So far, all of the experimentally identified topologically nontrivial Dirac semimetals (DSMs) possess both parity and time reversal symmetry. The realizatio ...

Experimental studies of the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium electronic structure of non-symmorphic topological materials

Gianmarco Gatti

Symmetry and topology are fundamental properties of nature. Mathematics provides us with a general framework to understand these concepts. On one side, symmetry describes the invariance properties of an object for specific transformations. On the other sid ...

Experimental observation of the acoustic Z2 Weyl semimetallic phase in synthetic dimensions

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Scalar waves such as airborne sound lack an intrinsic spin degree of freedom, making the realization of sonic Z2 topological phases based on spin degeneracy challenging. Here, we demonstrate the relevance of synthetic dimensions and higher-dimensional topo ...

Large magnetoresistance and nonzero Berry phase in the nodal-line semimetal MoO2

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

We performed calculations of the electronic band structure and the Fermi surface as well as measured the longitudinal resistivity rho(xx)(T,H), Hall resistivity rho(xy)(T,H), and quantum oscillations of the magnetization as a function of temperature at var ...

Radial Spin Texture of the Weyl Fermions in Chiral Tellurium

Majed Chergui, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Marco Grioni, Oleg Yazyev, Alberto Crepaldi, Luca Moreschini, Mauro Fanciulli, Simon Karl Moser, Michele Puppin, Philippe Bugnon, Edoardo Martino, Gianmarco Gatti, Luc Testa, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez, Silvan Dino Marcos Roth, Serhii Polishchuk

Trigonal tellurium, a small-gap semiconductor with pronounced magneto-electric and magneto-optical responses, is among the simplest realizations of a chiral crystal. We have studied by spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy its unconventional ...

Exploiting the chirality of intermetallic PdGa

Samuel Thomas Stolz

The intermetallic compound PdGa has recently attracted considerable interest for combining high catalytic activity with high reaction selectivity in symmetric heterogeneous catalysis, in particular semi-hydrogenation of acetylene and methanol steam reformi ...

Manipulating topological spin textures in multiferroic and polar materials

Jan Hugo Dil

The possibility to manipulate spin textures is of central importance for their utilisation in functional materials. Here it will be shown how the resulting changes in the spin texture of the electronic structure can directly be imaged by spin- and angle-re ...

Observation of Weyl Nodes in Robust Type-II Weyl Semimetal WP2

Joël Mesot, Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Gabriel Albert Autes

Distinct to type-I Weyl semimetals (WSMs) that host quasiparticles described by the Weyl equation, the energy dispersion of quasiparticles in type-II WSMs violates Lorentz invariance and the Weyl cones in the momentum space are tilted. Since it was propose ...

Spin fluctuation induced Weyl semimetal state in the paramagnetic phase of EuCd2As2

Joël Mesot

Weyl fermions as emergent quasiparticles can arise in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) in which the energy bands are nondegenerate, resulting from inversion or time-reversal symmetry breaking. Nevertheless, experimental evidence for magnetically induced WSMs is scar ...

Colossal mid-infrared bulk photovoltaic effect in a type-I Weyl semimetal

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Weiyan Ni, Xiangwei Huang

Broadband, efficient and fast conversion of light to electricity is crucial for sensing and clean energy. The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) is a second-order nonlinear optical effect that intrinsically converts light into electrical current. Here, we dem ...
