Abstract:Recent experimental breakthrough in magnetic Weyl semimetals have inspired exploration on the novel effects of various magnetic structures in these materials. Here we focus on a domain wall structure which connects two uniform domains with different magnetization directions. We study the topological superconducting state in presence of an s-wave superconducting pairing potential. By tuning the chemical potential, we can reach a topological state, where a chiral Majorana mode or zero-energy Majorana bound state… Show more
“…A similar scenario might occur in CeAlSi, where recently chiral domain walls were found and might be related to the observed topological properties [48]. Furthermore, nontrivial domain walls are predicted to exist in magnetic WSMs [47]. It is conceivable that the internal fields already create tiny displacements at ambient pressure leading to differently oriented magnetic regions due to the presence of strain at domain walls via magnetostriction/magnetoelastic effects [46].…”

“…These lead to strains in the domain walls and create magnetic phases with different textures [46]. In fact, it is theoretically predicted that magnetic WSMs can host nontrivial domain walls [47] and chiral domain walls were indeed recently detected in CeAlSi [48]. The presence of a magnetoelastic effect in CeAlSi suggests a strong response of AHE and LHE to the application of external pressure.…”

“…Going below T C , into the FM state, a magnetic field applied parallel to the [100] direction reveals an AHE, while a [001] field leads to an unexplained hysteretic loop Hall effect (LHE) [36]. In addition, CeAlSi may exhibit nontrivial magnetic domain walls [44]; indeed, chiral domain walls were recently detected in this system [45]. Furthermore, magnetoelastic couplings give rise to picometer displacements in the unit cell due to the internal FM field, which can lead to different domain wall spin textures [46].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
