Mode-resolved reciprocal space mapping of electron-phonon interaction in the Weyl semimetal candidate Td-WTe2

It is predicted that topological phase transitions in quantum materials can be triggered by selective excitation of coherent phonons. Upon excitation of a shear mode, Hein et al. observe distinct perturbations of electronic Weyl semimetal fingerprints in Td-WTe2.
