Transport signatures of Fermi arcs at twin boundaries in Weyl materials
ORAL
Abstract
One of the most striking signatures of Weyl fermions is their surface Fermi arcs. Less known is that Fermi arcs can also be localized at internal twin boundaries where two Weyl materials of opposite chirality meet. In this work, we derive constraints on the topology and connectivity of these ``internal Fermi arcs.'' We show that internal Fermi arcs can exhibit transport signatures and propose two probes: quantum oscillations and a quantized chiral magnetic current. We propose merohedrally twinned B20 materials as candidates to host internal Fermi arcs, verified through both model and ab initio calculations. Our theoretical investigation sheds light on the topological features and motivates experimental studies into the intriguing physics of internal Fermi arcs.
