Superconductivity provides access to the chiral magnetic effect of an unpaired Weyl cone

T. E. O'Brien, C. W. J. Beenakker, I. Adagideli

The massless fermions of a Weyl semimetal come in two species of opposite chirality, in two cones of the band structure. As a consequence, the current induced in one Weyl cone…

Phase rotation symmetry and the topology of oriented scattering networks

Pierre Delplace, Michel Fruchart, Clément Tauber

We investigate the topological properties of dynamical states evolving on periodic oriented graphs. This evolution, that encodes the scattering processes occurring at the nodes of…

Sonic Landau-level lasing and synthetic gauge fields in mechanical metamaterials

Hamed Abbaszadeh, Anton Souslov, Jayson Paulose +2

Mechanical strain can lead to a synthetic gauge field that controls the dynamics of electrons in graphene sheets as well as light in photonic crystals. Here, we show how to enginee…

General scheme for stable single and multiatom nanomagnets according to symmetry selection rules

M. Marciani, C. Hübner, B. Baxevanis

At low temperature, information can be stored in the orientation of the localized magnetic moment of an adatom. However, scattering of electrons and phonons with the nanomagnet lea…

Wiedemann-Franz-type relation between shot noise and thermal conduction of Majorana surface states in a three-dimensional topological superconductor

N. V. Gnezdilov, M. Diez, M. J. Pacholski +1

We compare the thermal conductance (at temperature ) and the electrical shot noise power (at bias voltage ) of Majorana fermi…

Emergence of the stripe-domain phase in patterned Permalloy films

S. Voltan, C. Cirillo, H. J. Snijders +5

The occurrence of stripe domains in ferromagnetic Permalloy (Py=FeNi) is a well known phenomenon which has been extensively observed and characterized. This peculiar…

Magnetic breakdown and Klein tunneling in a type-II Weyl semimetal

T. E. O'Brien, M. Diez, C. W. J. Beenakker

The band structure of a type-II Weyl semimetal has pairs of electron and hole pockets that coexist over a range of energies and touch at a topologically protected conical point. We…
