Unique Optical Responses of Weyl Semimetals

 · Invited

Abstract

The isolation of electrons of different chirality in Weyl semimetals led to predictions of novel transport phenomena. Amongst these are the nonlinear responses and chiral anomaly. Here I will discuss our recent results on a range of Weyl semimetals. First I will focus on their nonlinear responses. Next, I will cover how Raman reveals surprisingly large electron-phonon coupling, that is relevant to their high mobility and potential for chiral transport.
