Title

Structural investigation of a possible magnetically-induced Weyl Semi-Metal YbMnSb2

Abstract

The antiferromagnet YbMnSb2 has recently been identified as a candidate Weyl semi-metal created by a very specific type of magnetic order. We have studied single crystals of YbMnSb2 on D10 and have observed anomalies above 300 K which point to the presence of Weyl fermions. We propose to use polarized neutrons to confirm whether or not YbMnSb2 hosts these exotic quasi-particles or not.
