Reflections of topological properties in the planar-Hall response for semimetals carrying pseudospin-1 quantum numbers

We continue our investigations of the nature of the linear-response tensors in planar-Hall and planar-thermal Hall configurations, involving three-dimensional nodal-point semimetals , by considering here nodes hosting pseudospin-1 quasiparticles . Such systems exemplify multifold semimetals , as they have three bands crossing at a nodal point. We derive the explicit expressions of the electric, thermoelectric , and thermal coefficients, when the nodes are subjected to the combined influence of an electric field (and/or temperature gradient) and a weak (i.e., nonquantizing) magnetic field . In order to have a complete description, we consider the effects of the Berry curvature and the orbital magnetic moment on an equal footing, both of which originate from the underlying topological features of the bandstructure. Going beyond our previous works, we determine the out-of-plane response comprising the intrinsic anomalous-Hall and the Lorentz-force-contributed currents, and chalk out the effects of internode scatterings as well. Our theoretical explorations shed light on the mechanisms of transport in multifold semimetals , which are being investigated in contemporary experiments.
