Weyl semimetal is a type of crystals which host emergent quasiparticles that behave like Weyl fermions. In Weyl semimetals, the conduction band and the valence band cross at a single point in reciprocal space called the Weyl point. Quasiparticles near this point can be described by the Weyl equation...
