Validity of Weyl fermion picture for transition metals monopnictides TaAs, TaP, NbAs, and NbP from ab initio studies
Abstract We investigate electronic and optical properties of the topological Weyl semimetals TaAs, TaP, NbAs and NbP crystallizing in bct geometry by means of the ab initio density functional theory with spin-orbit interaction within the independent-particle approximation. The small energetical over...
