Regularized continuum model of a Weyl semimetal for describing anomalous electromagnetic response
arXiv:1901.02197 · doi:10.7566/JPSJ.88.014703
Abstract
Although the Weyl model with an unbounded linear energy spectrum appropriately describes low-energy electron states in a Weyl semimetal, it cannot capture the anomalous electromagnetic response of the chiral magnetic effect (CME) and anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in a straightforward manner. Here, we propose a regularized continuum model by modifying the Weyl model and show that it properly describes the CME and AHE in a unified manner. It turns out that the absence of the CME at equilibrium is guaranteed by a basic nature of the Berry curvature. We also show that the original Weyl model can properly describe the CME if an energy cutoff procedure is appropriately applied, although it fails to describe the AHE in its present form.
