Spin-to-Charge Conversion in Magnetic Weyl Semimetals

Journal Article Zhang, Steven S. -L. ; Burkov, Anton A. ; Martin, Ivar ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Weyl semimetals (WSM) are a newly discovered class of quantum materials which can host a number of exotic bulk transport properties, such as the chiral magnetic effect, negative magnetoresistance, and the anomalous Hall effect. In this work, we investigate theoretically the spin-to-charge conversion in a bilayer consisting of a magnetic WSM and a normal metal (NM), where a charge current can be induced in the WSM by a spin current injection at the interface. We show that the induced charge current exhibits a peculiar anisotropy: it vanishes along the magnetization orientation of the magnetic WSM, regardless of the direction ofmore »« less

Suppression of axionic charge density wave and onset of superconductivity in the chiral Weyl semimetal ${Ta}_{2} {Se}_{8} I$

Journal Article Mu, Qing-Ge ; Nenno, Dennis ; Qi, Yan-Peng ; ... - Physical Review Materials

A Weyl semimetal with strong electron-phonon interaction can show axionic coupling in its insulator state at low temperatures, owing to the formation of a charge density wave (CDW). Such a CDW emerges in the linear-chain-compound Weyl semimetal Ta₂Se₈I below 263 K, resulting in the appearance of the dynamical condensed-matter axion quasiparticle. In this paper, we demonstrate that the interchain coupling in Ta₂Se₈I can be varied to suppress the CDW formation with pressure, while retaining the Weyl semimetal phase at high temperatures. Above 17 GPa, the Weyl semimetal phase does not survive, and we induce superconductivity, due to the amorphization ofmore »« less

Nonlinear optical control of chiral charge pumping in a topological Weyl semimetal

Journal Article Jadidi, M. Mehdi ; Kargarian, Mehdi ; Mittendorff, Martin ; ... - Physical Review. B

Solids with topologically robust electronic states exhibit unusual electronic and optical properties that do not exist in other materials. A particularly interesting example is chiral charge pumping, the so-called chiral anomaly, in recently discovered topological Weyl semimetals, where simultaneous application of parallel DC electric and magnetic fields creates an imbalance in the number of carriers of opposite topological charge (chirality). Here, using time-resolved terahertz measurements on the Weyl semimetal TaAs in a magnetic field, we optically interrogate the chiral anomaly by dynamically pumping the chiral charges and monitoring their subsequent relaxation of the nonequilibrium state.

Dynamical piezomagnetic effect in time-reversal-invariant Weyl semimetals with axionic charge density waves

Journal Article Yu, Jiabin ; Wieder, Benjamin J. ; Liu, Chao-Xing - Physical Review B

Charge density waves (CDWs) in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have been shown to induce an exotic axionic insulating phase in which the sliding mode (phason) of the CDW acts as a dynamical axion field, giving rise to a large positive magnetoconductance. In this work, we predict that dynamical strain can induce a bulk orbital magnetization in time-reversal (TR)-invariant WSMs that are gapped by a CDW. Here, we term this effect the “dynamical piezomagnetic effect” (DPME). Unlike in J. Gooth et al., the DPME introduced in this work occurs in a bulk-constant (i.e., static and spatially homogeneous in the bulk) CDW, andmore »« less
