Electrical Transport in Non-symmorphic Weyl Semimetals

ORAL

Abstract

Weyl semimetals support unusual transport properties including the chiral anomaly and significant band-structure driven anomalous Hall effect. We study here the effect of nonsymmorphic symmetries on the transport response in Weyl semimetals, focusing on the relationship between magnetoresistance and symmetry. For magnetic systems we find the temperature and field modulation of the magnetic symmetries strongly affect the transport response. We discuss the relationship of this response to the expected Weyl points in the system and compare to that observed in thermodynamic and spectroscopic probes.
