  • Title: Chiral-Anomaly-Driven Casimir-Lifshitz Torque between Weyl Semimetals.
    Author: Chen L, Chang K.
    Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2020 Jul 24; 125(4):047402. PubMed ID: 32794785.
    Abstract:
    We propose a new mechanism to generate the Casimir-Lifshitz torque between Weyl semimetals arising from the chiral anomaly. For short distances ranging from a nanometer to a few tens of nanometers, chiral anomaly is manifested via a Casimir-Lifshitz torque ∼sin(θ) with θ being the twisting angle. As the distance between Weyl semimetals increases from a submicrometer to a few micrometers, chiral-anomaly-driven Casimir-Lifshitz torque between Weyl semimetals is remarkably large, which is comparable with that of conventional birefringent materials.
