Strain-Induced Landau Levels in Tilted Weyl Semimetals

A Weyl semimetal is characterized by pairs of Weyl points, which are topologically protected band degeneracies. Weyl semimetals host interesting phenomena such as Fermi arc surface states and chiral anomaly. There have been fascinating theoretical studies on strained Weyl semimetals, e.g., Refs. [1-3]. In this talk, we expand these theories to tilted Weyl cone systems and present the results of our calculations on strained and tilted Weyl semimetals.
