Topological properties of Dirac and Weyl semimetals

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

This chapter describes topological (Dirac and Weyl) semimetals from the viewpoint of their observable electromagnetic response. We argue that this response may be represented by topological terms with unquantized (non-integer) coefficients and make a connection with the Luttinger's theorem, which relates the size of the Fermi surface of an ordinary metal to the number of electrons per unit cell. We discuss observable transport phenomena, associated with this topological response.
