One of the most unique properties of WSMs is the chiral anomaly – a pair of Weyl nodes of opposite chirality acts as source and drain of electrons in the presence of non-perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. To date, the most remarkable phenomenon induced by the chiral anomaly is the longitudinal negative magnetoresistance, which is a linear response effect. In this work, we theoretically investigate the transport properties of WSMs in the nonlinear regime and predict a novel nonlinear Hall effect in tilted non-centrosymmetric Weyl semimetals. Intuitively, a steady-state density difference between a pair of Weyl nodes is established when the chiral pumping and internode relaxation reach a balance, which conspires with the anomalous velocity to give rise to this nonlinear Hall effect. Taking the semiclassical Boltzmann approach, we find that the nonlinear Hall conductivity scales linearly with both the electric and magnetic fields, and depends critically on the tilting of the Weyl cones in both type-I and type-II WSMs. For a pair of Weyl cones that are un-tilted or oppositely tilted, the chiral-anomaly-induced nonlinear Hall current vanishes because it is forbidden by a mirror symmetry. We also show that this effect does not rely on a finite Berry curvature dipole, in contrast to the intrinsic quantum nonlinear Hall effect that was proposed to occur in time-reversal invariant materials [1].References: [1] I.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
