The chiral anomaly and thermopower of Weyl fermions in the half-Heusler GdPtBi
Abstract
The half-Heusler GdPtBi is reported to exhibit negative longitudinal magnetoresistance. This is attributed to the chiral anomaly due to the formation of Weyl nodes with an applied magnetic field. The anomaly is also found to suppress the thermopower.
