On the search for the chiral anomaly in Weyl semimetals: the negative longitudinal magnetoresistance

Recently, the existence of massless chiral (Weyl) fermions has been postulated in a class of semi-metals with a non-trivial energy dispersion. These materials are now commonly dubbed Weyl semi-metals (WSM). One predicted property of Weyl fermions is the chiral or Adler–Bell–Jackiw anomaly, a chirali...
