Zusammenfassung: | The ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals, such as Co3Sn2S2, feature pairs of Weyl
points characterized by the opposite chiralities.We model this type of
semimetals by the inversion symmetry protected and the time reversal symmetry
broken Bloch Hamiltonian. It involves terms representing the tunnelling effect,
exchange field corresponding to the ferromagnetic order, chirality index of
Weyl points with related energy parameters, and the angle formed by the spin
magnetic moments and the axis perpendicular to the system-plane. While for the
in-plane spin moment order the Weyl nodes are absent at some points of the
first Brillouin zone , the bands of opposite chirality non-linearly cross each
other with band inversion at Weyl points for the spin moment order along the
perpendicular axis. The absence of linearity implies that the system is unable
to host massless Weyl fermions. We also show that, in the absence of the
exchange field, the incidence of the circularly polarized radiation leads to
the emergence of a novel state with broken time reversal symmetry. |
