Over the past two decades, physicists have been fascinated by semimetals — rare materials with zero energy gap, right at the threshold between metal and insulator. Some semimetals can host ...

Theories have revealed the universality of the band tilting effect in topological Weyl semimetals (WSMs) and its implications for the material physical properties. However, the experimental ...

An international team of researchers led by the Strong Correlation Quantum Transport Laboratory of the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) has demonstrated, in a world’s first, an ideal ...

Quantum sensors can be used to reveal a surprising new mechanism for converting light into electricity in Weyl semimetals, Boston College Assistant Professor of Physics Brian Zhou and colleagues ...

This is a key step toward making hydrogen a viable, widespread energy source. Scientists make breakthrough discovery that could unlock fuel of the future: 'Establishing a robust design principle' ...

Rondinelli’s team is also modeling a subclass of polar metals called topological semimetals to address the interconnect bottleneck for further downscaling integrated circuits for microelectronics.

In this review, we follow the fast progress in 3D topological photonic semimetal states. In the first part, we introduce the category of photonic semimetals, their topological invariant, and the ...
