The quest for nonmagnetic Weyl semimetals with high tunability of phase has remained a demanding challenge. As the symmetry-breaking control parameter, the ferroelectric order can be steered to turn on/off the Weyl semimetals phase, adjust the band structures around the Fermi level, and enlarge/shrink the momentum separation of Weyl nodes which generate the Berry curvature as the emergent magnetic field. Here, we report the realization of a ferroelectric nonmagnetic Weyl semimetal based on indium-doped Pb1−xSnxTe alloy in which the underlying inversion symmetry as well as mirror symmetry are broken with the strength of ferroelectricity adjustable via tuning the indium doping level and Sn/Pb ratio. The transverse thermoelectric effect (i.e., Nernst effect), both for out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic field geometry, is exploited as a Berry curvature–sensitive experimental probe to manifest the generation of Berry curvature via the redistribution of Weyl nodes under magnetic fields. The results demonstrate a clean, nonmagnetic Weyl semimetal coupled with highly tunable ferroelectric order, providing an ideal platform for manipulating the Weyl fermions in nonmagnetic systems.

AbstractSignificant enhancement of light-induced transverse thermoelectric (LITT) effect in tilted BiCuSeO film has been achieved via introduction of an ultra-thin layer of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with the thickness of a few nanometers. In both cases of pulsed and continuous light irradiation, about two times increment in the LITT voltage sensitivity is observed for the BiCuSeO film coated with 4-nm-thick AuNPs layer. This can be ascribed to the increased photo-thermal conversion efficiency in the LITT effect owing to the efficient usage of the incident light of AuNPs layer. Thicker AuNPs layer will suppress the voltage sensitivity increment due to the electrical connectivity effect. This work provides an effective strategy for optimizing the performance of thermal-type optical detectors based on the LITT effect.
