Electronic transport in strain Weyl semimetals*

We consider the electronic transport in Weyl semimetals (WSM) due to the superposition of an external magnetic field and mechanical strain. We find exact analytical solutions for single-particle states inside and outside of the strained region. We obtain analytical expressions for the scattering cross-section in this setup, that allows us to explicitly calculate analytically the current-voltage characteristics, as well as the differential conductance through the strained region within the Landauer approximation [1]. We study the dependence of the conductance as a function of temperature, magnetic field and mechanical strain.
