After the experimental realization, the Berry curvature dipole (BCD) induced nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE) has attracted tremendous interest to the condensed matter community. Here, we investigate another family of Hall effect, namely, chiral anomaly induced nonlinear Hall effect (CNHE) in multi-Weyl semimetal (mWSM). In contrast to the BCD induced NLHE, CNHE appears because of the combination of both chiral anomaly and anomalous velocity due to non-trivial Berry curvature. Using the semiclassical Boltzmann theory within the relaxation time approximation, we show that, in contrast to the chiral anomaly induced linear Hall effect, the magnitude of CNHE decreases with the topological charge n. Interestingly, we find that unlike the case of n=1, the CNHE has different behaviors in different planes. Our prediction on the behavior of CNHE in mWSM can directly be checked in experiments.

Chiral anomaly or Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) has a significant impact on the electron transport behaviors, leading to remarkable longitudinal or planar electrical and thermoelectric transport phenomena in the presence of elec tromagnetic gauge fields. These phenomena are consequences of the imbalanced chiral charge and energy induced by chiral anomaly in the presence of parallel electric ($mathbf{E}$) and magnetic ($mathbf{B}$) fields ($mathbf{E cdot B } eq 0$) or $(mathbf{B cdot abla }T eq 0)$ ($mathbf{ abla}T$ is the thermal gradient). We here propose another two fascinating transport properties, namely, the nonlinear planar Nernst effect and nonlinear planar thermal Hall effect induced by chiral anomaly in the presence of $mathbf{B cdot abla}T eq 0$ in WSMs. Using the semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory, we derive the analytical expressions for the chiral anomaly induced nonlinear Nernst and thermal Hall transport coefficients and also evaluate the fundamental mathematical relations among them in the nonlinear regime. The formulas we find in this current work are consistent with that predicted for the nonlinear anomalous electrical and thermoelectric effects induced by Berry curvature dipole recently. Additionally, in contrast to the recent work, by utilizing the lattice Weyl Hamiltonian with intrinsic chiral chemical potential, we find that the chiral anomaly induced nonlinear planar effects can exist even for a pair of oppositely tilted or non-tilted Weyl cones in both time reversal and inversion broken WSMs. The chiral anomaly induced nonlinear planar effects predicted here along with the related parameter dependencies are hence possible to be realized in realistic WSMs in experiment.

In this paper, the chiral Hall effect of strained Weyl semimetals without any external magnetic field is proposed. Electron-phonon coupling emerges in the low-energy fermionic sector through a pseudogauge potential. We show that, by using chiral kine tic theory, the chiral Hall effect appears as a response to a real time-varying electric field in the presence of structural distortion and it causes spatial chirality and charges separation in a Weyl system. We also show that the coupling of the electrons to acoustic phonons as a gapless excitation leads to emerging an optical absorption peak at $omega=omega_{el}$, where $omega_{el}$ is defined as a characteristic frequency associated with the pseudomagnetic field. We also propose the strain-induced planar Hall effect as another transport signature of the chiral-anomaly equation.

Weyl semimetals are well-known for hosting topologically protected linear band crossings, serving as the analog of the relativistic Weyl Fermions in the condensed matter context. Such analogy persists deeply, allowing the existence of the chiral anom aly under parallel electric and magnetic field in Weyl semimetals. Different from such picture, here we show that, a unique mechanism of the chiral anomaly exists in Weyl semimetals by injecting a spin current with parallel spin polarization and flow direction. The existence of such a chiral anomaly is protected by the topological feature that each Weyl cone can also be a source or drain of the spin field in the momentum space. It leads to measurable experimental signals, such as an electric charge current parallel with an applied magnetic field in the absence of the electric field, and a sharp peak at certain resonant frequency in the injection current in achiral Weyl semimetals through the circular photogalvanic effect. Our work shows that the topological implication of Weyl semimetals goes beyond the link with relativistic Weyl Fermions, and offers a promising scenario to examine the interplay between topology and spin.

Weyl semimetals are intriguing topological states of matter that support various anomalous magneto-transport phenomena. One such phenomenon is a negative longitudinal ($mathbf{ abla} T parallel mathbf{B}$) magneto-thermal resistivity, which arises du e to chiral magnetic effect (CME). In this paper we show that another fascinating effect induced by CME is the planar thermal Hall effect (PTHE), i.e., appearance of an in-plane transverse temperature gradient when the current due to $mathbf{ abla} T$ and the magnetic field $mathbf{B}$ are not aligned with each other. Using semiclassical Boltzmann transport formalism in the relaxation time approximation we compute both longitudinal magneto-thermal conductivity (LMTC) and planar thermal Hall conductivity (PTHC) for a time reversal symmetry breaking WSM. We find that both LMTC and PTHC are quadratic in B in type-I WSM whereas each follows a linear-B dependence in type-II WSM in a configuration where $mathbf{ abla} T$ and B are applied along the tilt direction. In addition, we investigate the Wiedemann-Franz law for an inversion symmetry broken WSM (e.g., WTe$_{2}$) and find that this law is violated in these systems due to both chiral anomaly and CME.
We present a theory of magnetotransport phenomena related to the chiral anomaly in Weyl semimetals. We show that conductivity, thermal conductivity, thermoelectric and the sound absorption coefficients exhibit strong and anisotropic magnetic field de pendences. We also discuss properties of magneto-plasmons and magneto-polaritons, whose existence is entirely determined by the chiral anomaly. Finally, we discuss the conditions of applicability of the quasi-classical description of electron transport phenomena related to the chiral anomaly.
