We have studied a large number of different topological
nodal semimetals (TNSMs) by means of optical spectroscopy [1].
Theory predicts that the optical conductivity of TNSMs is not only distinct from the response of “ordinary” semiconductors and metals, but also very sensitive to the TNSM’s band structure and band dimensionality [2]. In real TNSMs, free-electron absorption and contributions from topologically trivial parabolic bands are essential. Both effects may mask the predicted behavior. Some of the studied materials are indeed affected by the aforementioned effects quite substantially. In the others, the low-energy optical response, related to the linear electronic bands, is clearly observed. In the course of the presentation, optical conductivity of the studied TNSMs will be discussed alongside the theory predictions.
