Extremely high magnetoresistance and conductivity in the type-II Weyl semimetals WP2 and MoP2

Semimetals with the band structure exhibiting Dirac and Weyl crossings can show special electronic and magnetic properties. Here the authors explore the electronic properties of the type-II Weyl semimetals, MoP2 and WP2 with robust Weyl points which display very high magnetoresistance and conductivi...
