Chiral Anomaly from Strain-Induced Gauge Fields in Dirac and Weyl Semimetals

Dirac and Weyl semimetals form an ideal platform for testing ideas developed in high-energy physics to describe massless relativistic particles. One such quintessentially field-theoretic idea of the chiral anomaly already resulted in the prediction and subsequent observation of the pronounced negati...
