Abstract

Dirac and Weyl materials, which host low-energy quasiparticle excitations described by relativistic quantum mechanical equations, have garnered significant interest due to their unique properties and potential applications in spintronics and pseudospintronics.

AI-generated summary

Dirac and Weyl materials refer to a class of solid materials which host low-energy quasiparticle excitations that can be described by the Dirac and Weyl equations in relativistic quantum mechanics. Starting with the advent of graphene as the first prominent example, these materials have been attracting tremendous interest owing to their novel fundamental properties as well as the great potential for applications. Here we introduce the basic concepts and notions related to Dirac and Weyl materials and briefly review some recent works in this field, particularly on the conceptual development and the possible spintronics/pseudospintronics applications.
