Dielectric response and novel electromagnetic modes in three-dimensional Dirac semimetal films

OV Kotov, YE Lozovik - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Using the Kubo formalism we have calculated the local dynamic conductivity of a bulk, ie,

When chiral photons meet chiral fermions: photoinduced anomalous Hall effects in Weyl semimetals

CK Chan, PA Lee, KS Burch, JH Han, Y Ran - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
The Weyl semimetal is characterized by three-dimensional linear band touching points
called Weyl nodes. These nodes come in pairs with opposite chiralities. We show that the …
