Abstract: | There are two types (WSM-I and WSM-II) of the WSMs. The WSMs of different types have various topological and transport properties. Besides pure WSM-I and WSM-II, there exists a novel type, dubbed “hybrid Weyl semimetal”, which contains the Weyl points of both types. In this Letter we consider the hybrid WSM under crossed magnetic and electric fields. The electromagnetic field induces transition between different types of spectrum in Weyl point (WP). Thus, hybrid phase of the WSM can be tunable using the electromagnetic field. Finally, we proposed a new field-induced type of hybrid WSM in which two different regimes of spectrum coexist. In this case, the spectrum near the first WP corresponds to electric regime (no Landau levels) and the spectrum in the second WP with opposite chirality corresponds to magnetic regime (there are Landau levels). |
