Optoelectronic response of the type-I Weyl semimetals TaAs and NbAs from first principles

Weyl semimetals are materials with topologically nontrivial band structures both in the bulk and on the surface, hosting chiral nodes which are sinks and sources of Berry curvature. Weyl semimetals have been predicted and recently measured to exhibit large nonlinear optical responses. This discovery...
