Semi-Dirac fermion

Last updated

In condensed matter physics, semi-Dirac fermions are a class of quasiparticles that are fermionic with the unusual property that their energy dispersion relation changes from quadratic to linear dependent on their direction of motion. [1] Their theoretical properties have been studied prior to their observation in 2024. [2] [3]

Their first observation in a solid was in zirconium silicon sulfide (ZrSiS), a topological semi-metal, and was published in 2024. [4]
