Lorentz-violating type-II Dirac fermions in transition metal dichalcogenide PtTe2

Lorentz-violating type-II Dirac fermions in transition metal dichalcogenide PtTe2

Whether the spin-degenerate counterpart of Lorentz-violating Weyl fermions, the Dirac fermions, can be realized remains as an open question. Here, Yan et al. report experimental evidence of such type-II Dirac fermions in bulk PtTe2 single crystal with a pair of strongly tilted Dirac cones.
