Longitudinal magnetoconductivity of tilted type-I Weyl semimetals from semiclassical to ultra-quantum regime

Weyl semimetals (WSMs) display many unusual magnetotransport phenomena. Here, based on the Landau quantization and Boltzmann equation, we theoretically study the longitudinal magnetoconductivity for tilted type-I WSMs from weak to strong magnetic field within a unified framework. It is found that, in semiclassical (weak magnetic field) regime, the conductivity has an angular dependentB-linear term besides theB-quadratic term common to isotropic nodes. In ultra-quantum (strong magnetic field) regime, the magnetoconductivity shows a linear dependence onB, and this dependence is affected by the tilt. In the intermediate regime, magnetoconductivity shows a tilt-modified quantum oscillation behavior due to the oscillation in the density of state. These findings recover the results for isotropic nodes without tilt, and suggest a possible way to identify the tilt axis of tilted WSMs through magnetotransport experiment.
