Chiral anomaly induced magnetoconductances in an irradiated type-I Weyl semimetal.

Magneto conductivities in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) in presence of small fields are studied using quasi-classical Boltzmann transport equations. Following such formalism here we consider irradiation via circularly polarized light on a two-node time reversal breaking WSM already under a dc/static electric field and study the magneto-transport properties due to the presence of chiral anomaly. Chiral anomaly affects both longitudinal magnetoconductivity as well as planar Hall conductivity. As our field set-up causes continuous time variation in the relative orientation between the fields, one naturally expects interesting magneto-transport behavior for different field strengths and tilting. The type-I tilting that we study here displays both positive and negative magnetoconductances depending on the field strengths and time. Furthermore, we find that a direct temporal tuning of the irradiated field strengths can lead to fluctuating magneto-transport behavior which can be easily improvised and checked in the laboratories.
