Magneto-transport phenomena related to the chiral anomaly in Weyl semimetals

Understand

We present a theory of magnetotransport phenomena related to the chiral anomaly in Weyl semimetals.

• We show that conductivity, thermal conductivity, thermoelectric and the sound absorption coefficients exhibit strong and anisotropic magnetic field dependences.
• We also discuss properties of magneto-plasmons and magneto-polaritons, whose existence is entirely determined by the chiral anomaly.
• Finally, we discuss the conditions of applicability of the quasi-classical description of electron transport phenomena related to the chiral anomaly.
