Abstract:
Novel quasiparticles beyond those mimicking the elementary high-energy particles such as Dirac and Weyl fermions have attracted great interest in condensed-matter physics and materials science. Here we report an experimental observation of the long-desired quadratic Weyl points by using a three-dimensional chiral metacrystal of sound waves. Markedly different from the newly observed unconventional quasiparticles, such as the spin-1 Weyl points and the charge-2 Dirac points featuring respectively threefold and fourfold band crossings, the charge-2 Weyl points identified here are simply twofold…
