Magnetic torque anomaly in the quantum limit of Weyl semimetals

The topological character of electrons in semimetals subtly influences their bulk properties, leading typically to weak experimental signatures. Here, Moll et al. report a distinctive anomaly in the magnetic torque upon entering quantum limit state in the Weyl semimetal NbAs, which only appears due...

Sumario:The topological character of electrons in semimetals subtly influences their bulk properties, leading typically to weak experimental signatures. Here, Moll et al. report a distinctive anomaly in the magnetic torque upon entering quantum limit state in the Weyl semimetal NbAs, which only appears due to the presence of Weyl fermions.
