Nonlinear chiral transport in Dirac semimetals
Abstract
We study the current of chiral charge density in a Dirac semimetal with two Dirac points in momentum space,
subjected to an externally applied time dependent electric field and in the presence of a magnetic field. Based
on the kinetic equation approach, we find contributions to the chiral charge current that are proportional to the
second power of the electric field and to the first and second powers of the magnetic field, describing the interplay
of the chiral anomaly and the drift motion of electrons moving under the action of electric and magnetic fields.
