Chiral-anomaly-induced angular narrowing of the positive longitudinal magnetoconductivity in Weyl semimetals

By generalizing the Landau quantization Boltzmann equation to a finite-size system, we investigate the magnetotransport in disordered Weyl semimetals (WSMs) for both the ballistic and diffusive regimes. It is found that, in the diffusive limit, the chiral chemical potential would drive extra electri...
