Unveiling the Chiral States in Multi-Weyl Semimetals through Magneto-Optical Spectroscopy (2412.19132v1)

Abstract: This study investigates the transport parameters in multi-Weyl semimetals, focusing on their magneto-optical properties and the role of chiral states. The tilting parameter is identified as a key factor in higher-order Weyl nodes, significantly influencing the magneto-optical response. We obtain a generic Landau-level expression for multi-Weyl semimetals, establishing a robust framework for analyzing their quantum transport properties. A comprehensive expression for the conductivity tensor components is presented, uncovering distinctive low-frequency peaks and other features shaped by the tilting parameter. Our findings reveal that the signatures of chiral states in the conductivity tensors become increasingly pronounced with the Weyl node order. Particularly, the tilting parameter is shown to impact Faraday rotation, at energies near the tilted Dirac cone energies. These results provide critical insights into the magneto-optical behavior of multi-Weyl semimetals and their potential for exploring topological phenomena.
