Anomalous symmetry-breaking response in proposed type-II Weyl semimetal

ORAL

Abstract

We present details of flux growth and physical properties of noncentrosymmetric magnetic RAlGe (where R = Rare Earth) single crystals. The RAlGe family has been proposed, based on systematic first-principles band structure calculations, to host key elements of Weyl semimetals and as such offers a playground for new and exciting physics. We will discuss the effects of different rare earth species on the ground state magnetic order, magnetic anisotropy and correlation of the magnetotransport and crystal symmetry in the ordered state.
