Quantum Interference Transport in two-dimensional Semi-Dirac Semimetals

Abstract: Semi-Dirac semimetals have received enthusiastic research both theoretically and experimentally in the recent years. Due to the anisotropic dispersion, its physical properties are highly direction-dependent. In this work we employ the Feynman diagrammatic perturbation theory to study the transport properties in quantum diffusive regime. The magneto-conductivity with quantum interference corrections is derived, which demonstrate the weak localization effect in the semi-Dirac semimetal. Furthermore, the origin of anomalous Hall conductivity is also clarified, where both the intrinsic and side-jump contributions vanish and only the skew-scattering gives rise to non-zero transverse conductivity. The conductance fluctuations in both mesoscopic and quantum diffusive regimes are investigated in detail. Our work provides theoretical predictions for transport experiments, which can be examined by conductivity measurements at sufficiently low temperature.
