Higher-order, quantum magnetic inductions in chiral topological materials

Abstract

The classic magnetic induction effect is usually considered in electric circuits or conductor coils. In this work, we propose quantum induction effects induced by the Berry curvature in homogenous solids. Two different types of quantum inductions are identified in the higher order of a magnetic field. They are closely related to the magnetic-field-induced anomalous velocity proportional to the Berry curvature so that both quantum inductions become significantly enhanced near Weyl points. Further, we propose an ac-magnetic-field measurement to detect quantum induction effects and distinguish them from classical induction.
