Topological magnetotorsional effect in Weyl semimetals

In this Rapid Communication we introduce a thermal magnetotorsional effect (TME) as a topological response in magnetic Weyl semimetals. We predict that magnetization gradients perpendicular to the Weyl node separation give rise to temperature gradients depending only on the local positions of the We...
