Spin-momentum locking and correlated phenomena in chiral topological materials
Chiral topological semimetals are a new class of quantum materials at the intersection of structural and electronic chirality. We discovered the first example of this material class three years ago and have since demonstrated that they host new fermionic quasiparticles without analogue in high-energy physics, which carry large and controllable topological charges. ChiralTopMat will go beyond these initial works and aims to discover new extraordinary properties that have only been predicted for these materials but for which experimental evidence remains elusive: 1) A new form of isotropic parallel spin-momentum locking that can be considered the natural counterpart of Rashba spin-orbit…
