Bending strain in 3D topological semi-metals

Amelia Emily-Kay Estry, Xiangwei Huang, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez, Matthias Carsten Putzke

We present an experimental set-up for the controlled application of strain gradients by mechanical piezoactuation on 3D crystalline microcantilevers that were fabricated by focused ion beam machining. A simple sample design tailored for transport character ...

Quasi-symmetry-protected topology in a semi-metal

Yi-Chiang Sun, Xiangwei Huang, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo

The concept of quasi-symmetry-a perturbatively small deviation from exact symmetry-is introduced and leads to topological materials with strong resilience to perturbations. ...

Three-dimensional Fermi surfaces from charge order in layered CsV3Sb5

Yi-Chiang Sun, Xiangwei Huang, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo

The cascade of electronic phases in CsV3Sb5 raises the prospect to disentangle their mutual interactions in a clean, strongly interacting kagome lattice. When the kagome planes are stacked into a crystal, its electronic dimensionality encodes how much of t ...

Anisotropic and nonlinear transport in microstructured 3D topological semimetals

Xiangwei Huang

Topological semimetals are frequently discussed as materials platforms for future electronics that exploit the remarkable properties of their quasiparticles. These ideas are mostly based on dispersion relations that mimic relativistic particles, such as We ...

Non-linear Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the self-heating regime

Xiangwei Huang, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo

We demonstrate a non-linear measurement scheme of the Shubnikov-de Haas effect based on Joule self-heating that builds on ideas of the 3 ?-method used in thin films. While the temperature dependence of the resistance, R(T), of clean metals at low temperatu ...

Magnetic electron collimation in three-dimensional semi-metals

Xiangwei Huang, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo

While electrons moving perpendicular to a magnetic field are confined to cyclotron orbits, they can move freely parallel to the field. This simple fact leads to complex current flow in clean, low carrier density semi-metals, such as long-ranged current jet ...

Colossal mid-infrared bulk photovoltaic effect in a type-I Weyl semimetal

Weiyan Ni, Xiangwei Huang, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Xu Yang

Broadband, efficient and fast conversion of light to electricity is crucial for sensing and clean energy. The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) is a second-order nonlinear optical effect that intrinsically converts light into electrical current. Here, we dem ...
