Transverse chiral magnetic photocurrent induced by linearly polarized light in mirror-symmetric Weyl semimetals
A class of photocurrents is predicted to occur in both type-I and type-II Weyl semimetals. Unlike the previously studied photocurrents in chiral materials, the proposed current requires neither circularly polarized light nor an absence of symmetry with respect to a plane of reflection. We show that...
