Raman Spectroscopy with Twisted Light on Chiral Semimetal PdGa — •Florian Büscher1, Peter Lemmens1, Chandra Shekhar2, and Claudia Felser2 — 1LENA, TU-BS, Braunschweig, Germany — 2CPFS, MPI, Dresden, Germany

We use Raman spectroscopy to study phonon intensities as a function of light polarization and magnetic field. The investigated system is the chiral Weyl semimetal PdGa. PdGa has chirally ordered Pd and Ga atoms along the c-axis, forming a helix with a distinct handedness. We observed a unique phonon effect with twisted light on specific modes of PdGa depending on the direction of the magnetic field and the handedness of the incident light.
