Topological magnetotorsional effect in Weyl semimetals
Long Liang, Teemu Ojanen
Abstract
The authors formulate the low energy theory of magnetic Weyl semimetals in terms of relativistic fermions moving in torsional spacetimes. Based on this notion, a novel topological response is predicted, giving rise to temperature gradients similar to the phenomenon with magnetic textures
