Probing mirror anomaly and classes of Dirac semimetals with circular dichroism

We theoretically investigate the optical activity of three-dimensional Dirac semimetals (DSMs) using circular dichroism (CD). We show that DSMs in the presence of a magnetic field in any one of the mirror-symmetric planes of the materials exhibit a notable dichroic behavior. In particular, for diffe...
