Weyl semimetal to metal phase transitions driven by quasiperiodic potentials

JH Pixley, JH Wilson, DA Huse, S Gopalakrishnan - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We explore the stability of three-dimensional Weyl and Dirac semimetals subject to
quasiperiodic potentials. We present numerical evidence that the semimetal is stable for …

Vanishing density of states in weakly disordered Weyl semimetals

M Buchhold, S Diehl, A Altland - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
The Brillouin zone of the clean Weyl semimetal contains points at which the density of states
(DOS) vanishes. Previous work suggested that below a certain critical concentration of …

From weak to strong disorder in Weyl semimetals: Self-consistent Born approximation

J Klier, IV Gornyi, AD Mirlin - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We analyze theoretically the conductivity of Weyl semimetals within the self-consistent Born
approximation (SCBA) in the full range of disorder strength, from weak to strong disorder. In …

Nodal points of Weyl semimetals survive the presence of moderate disorder

M Buchhold, S Diehl, A Altland - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
In this work we address the physics of individual three-dimensional Weyl nodes subject to a
moderate concentration of disorder. Previous analysis indicates the presence of a quantum …

Avoided quantum criticality in exact numerical simulations of a single disordered Weyl cone

JH Wilson, DA Huse, S Das Sarma, JH Pixley - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Existing theoretical works differ on whether three-dimensional Dirac and Weyl semimetals
are stable to a short-range-correlated random potential. Numerical evidence suggests the …

Disorder effects on the quasiparticle and transport properties of two-dimensional Dirac fermionic systems

B Fu, Y Chen, W Chen, W Zhu, P Cui, Q Li, Z Zhang… - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Despite extensive existing studies, a complete understanding of the role of disorder in
affecting the physical properties of two-dimensional Dirac fermionic systems remains a …

Topological invariants for the Haldane phase of interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains: Functional renormalization-group approach

B Sbierski, C Karrasch - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We present a functional renormalization-group approach to interacting topological Green's
function invariants with a focus on the nature of transitions. The method is applied to chiral …

Detecting phases in one-dimensional many-fermion systems with the functional renormalization group

L Markhof, B Sbierski, V Meden, C Karrasch - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
The functional renormalization group (FRG) has been used widely to investigate phase
diagrams, in particular the one of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. So far, the study of …

Viscosity of disordered Dirac electrons

W Chen, W Zhu - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Rejuvenation of hydrodynamic transport in solids provides a new window to study the
collective motion of electrons, where electrons behave like a viscous fluid akin to classical …

Surface quantum critical phenomena in disordered Dirac semimetals

E Brillaux, AA Fedorenko, IA Gruzberg - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study a non-Anderson disorder driven quantum phase transition in a semi-infinite Dirac
semimetal with a flat boundary. The conformally invariant boundary conditions, which …
