Chapter 7: Electronic Transport

In addition to various anomalous features connected with the condensed matter manifestation of the chiral anomaly and nontrivial topology, Dirac and Weyl semimetals have other interesting electronic transport properties. The electrical conductivity is one of the most fundamental characteristics of any material. In order to correctly describe the dissipative electron transport in Weyl and Dirac semimetals, it is crucial to know how different types of disorder affect the conductivity and how a steady state in an applied electric field is established…
