Emergence of gapped bulk and metallic side walls in the zeroth Landau level in Dirac and Weyl semimetals

Recent transport experiments have revealed the activation of longitudinal magnetoresistance of Weyl semimetals in the quantum limit, suggesting the breakdown of chiral anomaly in a strong magnetic field. Here we provide a general mechanism for gapping the zeroth chiral Landau levels applicable for b...
