Plasmon modes in three-dimensional multifold semimetals. II. Rarita-Schwinger-Weyl and Kramers-Weyl nodes
Abstract
We investigate collective charge excitations in three-dimensional multifold semimetals in which multiple bands cross the Fermi level at a positive chemical potential, focusing on pseudospin-3/2 Rarita-Schwinger-Weyl semimetals and on Kramers-Weyl semimetals. Both systems host multiple concentric Fermi surfaces at positive chemical potential. Within the random-phase approximation, we analyse the density response, Drude weights, dielectric function, plasmon modes and their Landau damping, and Friedel oscillations, considering both small and arbitrary momentum transfers. In our companion work, arXiv:2610.18629, we investigated pseudospin-1 triple-point semimetals, with and without a quadratic correction to their dispersion, as well as Hopf and Weyl semimetals. Comparing these systems allows us to elucidate the distinct roles of band dispersions and eigenstates in shaping collective charge dynamics. Our results demonstrate that collective charge excitations can distinguish multifold nodes with multiple Fermi surfaces and reveal information encoded in their eigenstates beyond that contained in the single-particle dispersion.
