Download or read book Electronic Properties of Dirac and Weyl Semimetals written by Eduard V. Gorbar and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph reviews various aspects of electronic properties of Dirac and Weyl semimetals. After a brief discussion of 2D Dirac semimetals, a comprehensive review of 3D materials is given. The description starts from an overview of the topological properties and symmetries of Dirac and Weyl semimetals. In addition, several low-energy models of Dirac and Weyl quasiparticles are presented. The key ab initio approaches and material realizations are given. The monograph includes detailed discussions of the surface Fermi arcs, anomalous transport properties, and collective modes of Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Superconductivity in these materials is briefly addressed.
