Transport in semi-metals
I will review recent developments of transport in materials with a very small overlap between the bottom of the conduction band and the top of the valence band. I will focus on hydrodynamic and kinetic manifestations of chiral anomalies. After introducing basic theoretical concepts I will discuss relativistic Weyl particles. Next I will introduce materials, the so-called multi-Weyl semi-metals, which do not have relativistic dispersion yet are anomalous at the quantum level. Finally, I will present recent developments and challenges in measuring hydrodynamic transport of electrons in semi-metals.
