• Abstract: Chiral anomaly and the novel quantum phenomena it induces have been widely studied for Dirac and Weyl fermions. In most typical cases, the Lorentz covariance is assumed and thus the linear dispersion relations are maintained. However, in realistic materials, such as Dirac and Weyl semimetals, the non-linear dispersion relations appear naturally. We develop a kinetic framework to study the chiral anomaly for Weyl fermions with non-linear dispersions by using the methods of Wigner function and semi-classical equations of motion. In this framework, the chiral anomaly is sourced by Berry monopoles in momentum space and could be enhanced or suppressed due to the windings around the Berry monopoles. Our results can help understand the chiral anomaly-induced transport phenomena in non-relativistic systems.

This unique coupling is found to enable control over the equilibrium magnon squeezing and a deterministic generation of squeezed even Fock states.

  We develop kinetic theory of the anomalous Hall and Nernst effects in superconductors induced by fluctuations in the vicinity of the critical transition temperature. asymmetric skew-scattering due to spin-orbit interaction gives rise to a new anomalous Hall conductance promoted by Maki-Thompson interference and density of states fluctuational effects. The anomalous Nernst effect is found due to a special nonlinear Aslamazov-Larkin term from the quantum-crossing of interacting fluctuations in a Hikami box with the skew-scattering process.
