Abstract

Surface Fermi arcs are the most prominent manifestation of the topological nature of Weyl semimetals.In the presence of a static magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the sample surface, their existence leads to unique intersurface cyclotron orbits.We propose two experiments that directly probe the Fermi arcs: a magnetic-field-dependent nonlocal dc voltage and sharp resonances in the transmission of electromagnetic waves at frequencies controlled by the field.We show that these experiments do not rely on quantum mechanical phase coherence, which renders them far more robust and experimentally accessible than quantum effects.We also comment on the applicability of these ideas to Dirac semimetals.

  • Resonant transmission of electromagnetic waves through the slab at frequencies determined by the intersurface cyclotron orbits are predicted, estimated to be in the microwave or THz range for experimentally relevant parameters.

    “For example, resonant transmission of electromagnetic waves through the slab at frequencies determined by the intersurface cyclotron orbits are predicted which are estimated to be in the microwave or THz range for experimentally relevant parameters.”

    The Introduction and ac transport section predict resonant electromagnetic transmission through the slab at frequencies tied to intersurface orbits. Estimates of Scales gives 5–500 GHz for typical parameters and calls this the microwave range; our copy does not support the additional THz-range estimate. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Nonlocal dc transport that relies on the intersurface cyclotron orbits was proposed in (Baum et al., 2015).

    “Nonlocal dc transport that relies on the intersurface cyclotron orbits was also proposed in the same work.”

  • Effects that depend on the current pattern related to the semiclassical orbits can show robust and unusual signatures (Baum et al., 2015).

    “This led to the prediction of effects (Baum et al. , 2015) that depend on the current pattern related to the semiclassical orbits, which can show robust and unusual signatures as shown in Fig. 9a,b.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
