摘要
We report on a study of the density response in doped Weyl semimetals or Weyl metals in the presence of an external magnetic field. We show that the applied field leads to a contribution to the density response, which is topological in nature and is closely related to the phenomenon of chiral anomaly. This contribution manifests in a nonanalytic nonclassical correction to the electronic compressibility and the plasmon frequency, proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field. Such a nonanalytic correction to the electronic compressibility is a smoking-gun feature of Weyl metals, which clearly distinguishes them from ordinary ferromagnetic metals.
