Decorated defect condensate, a window to unconventional quantum phase transitions in Weyl semimetals
Yizhi You
We investigate the unconventional quantum phase transitions in Weyl semimetals. The emergent boson fields, coupling with the Weyl fermion bilinears, contain a Wess-Zumino-Witten te…

Response Properties of Axion Insulators and Weyl Semimetals Driven by Screw Dislocations and Dynamical Axion Strings
Yizhi You, Gil Young Cho, Taylor L. Hughes
In this paper, we investigate the theory of dynamical axion string emerging from chiral symmetry breaking in three-dimensional Weyl semimetals. The chiral symmetry is spontaneously…

Geometry defects in Bosonic symmetry protected topological phases
Yizhi You, Yi-Zhuang You
In this paper we focus on the interplay between geometry defects and topological properties in bosonic symmetry protected topological(SPT) phases. We start from eight copies of 3D…
