Electronic transport in the type-I Weyl semimetal TaAs family from first principles

Topological semimetals such as Weyl, Dirac, and triple-point semimetals, have emerged as a new class of quantum materials at the forefront of condensed matter physics. In this study, we focus on the TaAs family of type-I Weyl semimetals which was found to host materials with ultra-high electron mobility at low temperature. Employing state-of-the-art ab initio approaches, we investigate the electron-phonon interactions and provide insight into the scattering mechanisms that govern transport in these materials.
