Observation of a singular Weyl point surrounded by charged nodal walls in PtGa

Oleg Yazyev, Jan Hugo Dil, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

Constrained by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem, in all so-far experimentally determined Weyl semimetals (WSMs) the Weyl points (WPs) always appear in pairs in the momentum space with no exception. As a consequence, Fermi arcs occur on surfaces which con ...

Discrete metal nanoparticles with plasmonic chirality

Jijun He

From a geometrical perspective, a chiral object does not have mirror planes or inversion symmetry. It exhibits the same physical properties as its mirror image (enantiomer), except for the chiroptical activity, which is often the opposite. Recent advanceme ...
