Weyl semimetals

Magnetically induced

Nature Materials volume 15, pages 1149–1150 (2016)Cite this article

Subjects

The half-Heusler GdPtBi is found to show transport and calorimetric signatures of the existence of Weyl fermions under the application of a magnetic field. The half-Heusler alloys form a big family of tunable compounds that may substantially enlarge the number of Weyl semimetals known.
