A Weyl semimetal, which has a topologically protected conic electronic structure, hosts interesting phenomena such as Fermi arc surface states and chiral anomaly. Recently, the deformation-driven pseudo gauge fields in strained Weyl semimetals have received attention. Among such examples is the collapse of strain-induced Landau levels in Weyl semimetal. In this study, we establish the theory for the effect of strain-induced gauge fields on realistic Weyl semimetals, and based on first-principles calculations, we investigate the conditions on the external strain for the collapse of Landau levels in TaAs.
