Intrinsic nonreciprocal reflection and violation of Kirchhoff's law of radiation in planar type-I magnetic Weyl semimetal surfaces

This work demonstrates that Kirchhoff's law of radiation, stating that the spectral directional emissivity and absorptivity of a surface are equal at thermal equilibrium, can be violated in planar surfaces without an external magnetic field or structures such as gratings. Modeling a type-I magn...
