Induced Superconductivity in Weyl Semimetals

The theoretical predictions and subsequent experimental realization of Weyl semimetals has made these interesting materials the subject of intense research. Amongst the open questions in Weyl semimetals, one of the more intriguing concerns the interplay between Weyl semimetals and superconductivity. In this invited presentation, we discuss the various types of induced superconductivity that can be found in both inversion-symmetric or time-reversal symmetric Weyl semimetals either by induced by proximity coupling different superconductors, either s-wave or d-wave, or via bulk doping of the Weyl semimetal. Additionally, we also discuss different experimental measurements that can be performed to reveal fundamental properties of these interesting superconducting states.
