Role of Fe-As banding in electronic structure of Co doped LiFeAs

Abstract Experiment shows that the maximum Co concentration of LiFeAs in the superconducting state is around 17%. First principles calculations show that the Fe-As bond length, c-axis length, and electronic structure change gently from 0% to 18% Co doping concentration, but suddenly undergo drastic changes at 20% Co doping. Unlike many 1111 and 122 type iron-based superconductors, the contribution of Fe 3p orbitals to N(EF) has significantly surpassed that of As 4p orbitals. The rapid decrease in N(EF) is associated with a sharp contraction of Fe-As bond, and Fe-As bond length has the ability to independently adjust N(EF). The sudden contraction of Fe-As bonds leads to a reverse Lifshitz transition in band, resulting in the fracture and severe shrinkage in the inner layer of the hole Fermi surface. The originally nested structure of the hole Fermi surfaces is destroyed, which may be the main reason for the termination of superconductivity.

What is the Exchange Repulsion Energy? Insight by Partitioning into Physically Meaningful Contributions.

It is shown that the exchange repulsion energy, Exr, can be rationalized by partitioning the respective energy expression for two systems with Hartree-Fock orbitals into physically meaningful contributions. A division of Exr into a positive kinetic and a negative potential part is possible, but these contributions correlate only poorly with the actual exchange repulsion energy. A more meaningful partitioning is derived, where all kinetic energy contributions are collected in a term that vanishes for exact Hartree-Fock orbitals due to their stationarity conditions. The remaining terms can be distinguished into an exchange integral contribution as well as contributions to the repulsion energy with two, three and four orbital indices. The forms, relationships and absolute sizes of these terms suggest an intuitive partitioning of the exchange repulsion energy into Molecular Orbital Pair Contributions to the Exchange repulsion energy (MOPCE). Insight into the analytic form and quantitative size of these contributions is provided by considering the state of the H2 molecule, the water dimer, as well as an argon atom interacting with Cl2 and N2.

Halogen-independent optoelectronic properties in copper halides: A case study of K2CuX3 (X=Cl, Br)

The ternary copper halides have garnered significant attention as luminescent and nontoxic alternatives to lead halide perovskites for optoelectronic applications. These materials exhibit broadband emission, resulting in a visible light emission with an exceptionally high photoluminescence efficiency. In this study, taking the 1D K2CuX3 (X = Cl, Br) as typical examples, first-principles calculations were employed to elucidate the physical mechanisms underlying the efficient luminescent and halogen-independent optical properties. Our findings demonstrate (i) K2CuX3 has a direct band gap and a large transition matrix, which makes it more likely to undergo radiative recombination; (ii) the excellent defect tolerance opens up more possibilities for thermal relaxation and recombination; (iii) excitonic properties analysis revealed that the broadband emissions originate from self-trapped excitons, which is localized within a single [CuX4] tetrahedron. More important, due to the dominate contributions of Cu orbitals at the band edge in K2CuBr3 and K2CuCl3, the calculated STE emission energies (2.959 eV for K2CuBr3 and 2.953 eV for K2CuCl3) is strikingly similar. These defect tolerances and self-trapped excitons enable K2CuX3 to exhibit halogen-independent optoelectronic properties, which align with experimental observations. This study offers crucial insights into structural-emission relationships in copper halide materials.

A Discovery of Pressure-Induced New Semiconductor Electronic Phase Transitions by DFT Calculations: Introducing a Glimpse of a Novel Semiconductor Family.

This study introduces a discovery of pressure-induced new semiconductor electronic phase transitions. A novel semiconductor family that exhibits pressure-induced nonmonotonic changes in band gaps was found and meets the definition of phase transitions, challenging the traditional understanding of linear and monotonic band gap modification through pressurization. Our findings suggest a complex interplay of atomic spacing and electron orbital contributions under varying pressure conditions, resulting in the variation of band gaps. This behavior, which includes three distinct steps: first, narrowing, second, broadening, and third, narrowing again and ultimately metalizing; some compounds could bypass step 1, has potential applications in piezoelectric and semiconductor technologies. We propose two new semiconductor electronic phase transitions (SEPT) associated with specific inflection points in the pressure-dependent band gap curve. Our results open avenues for further research into the electronic properties of crystals under high pressure, with the ultimate goal of uncovering the more profound physical principles governing these phenomena.

Molecular docking and spectroscopic exploration (FT‐IR, FT‐Raman) with HOMO–LUMO, ADMET, and 5,7‐dihydroxy‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl) chroman‐4‐one against lung cancer: A potential uptake B‐RAF inhibitor

AbstractNaringenin has been proven to inhibit cell proliferation, which has anticancer properties. The role of Naringenin molecule in lung cancer and its processes are yet unknown. Naringenin is chemically called as 5,7‐dihydroxy‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl) chroman‐4‐one, which was optimized geometrical parameters analysis such as bond length, bond angle and torsion angle were analyzed from Naringenin by utilizing Gaussian 09 W program. Characterizations of Naringenin analyzed by B3LYP density functional theory with basis set 6–311G (d,p). The energy value of Naringenin molecules are analyzed with (ground state) HOMO value −4.616, LUMO value for −0.169 (first excited state) energies and also predicted by energy cap value is 4.446. ADMET and drug likeness of the title compound was predicted, it's qualified with the Lipinski's rule of five. Naringenin molecular structural changes, distribution and also its reactive site investigated with MEP (Molecular Electrostatic Potential) analyses spans from −0.118eO to 0.118eO. The density of state (DOS) used to know molecular orbital contribution for selected compound. It was determined that Naringenin molecule in the active site of B‐RAF inhibitor (PDB code: 4MNF) has a binding energy of −8.9 based on a docking analysis and conformational changes. From this study, this drug will be expected to undergo essential future chemotherapy agent for lung cancer patient.

Spin waves and orbital contribution to ferromagnetism in a topological metal

Honeycomb and kagome lattices can host propagating excitations with non-trivial topology as defined by their evolution along closed paths in momentum space. Excitations on such lattices can also be momentum-independent, and the associated flat bands are of interest due to strong interactions between heavy quasiparticles. Here, we report the discovery — using circularly polarized X-rays for the unambiguous isolation of magnetic signals — of a nearly flat spin-wave band and large (compared to elemental iron) orbital moment in the metallic ferromagnet Fe3Sn2 with compact AB-stacked kagome bilayers. As a function of out-of-plane momentum, the nearly flat optical mode and the global rotation symmetry-restoring acoustic mode are out of phase, consistent with a bilayer exchange coupling that is larger than the already large in-plane couplings. The defining units of this topological metal are therefore triangular lattices of octahedral iron clusters rather than weakly coupled kagome planes. The spin waves are strongly damped when compared to elemental iron, opening the topic of topological boson–fermion interactions for deeper exploration within this material platform.

Harnessing synergy of spin and orbital currents in heavy metal/ferromagnet multilayers

Spin-orbitronics, exploiting electron spin and/or orbital angular momentum, offers a powerful route to energy-efficient spintronic applications. Recent research on orbital currents in light metals broadens the scope of spin-orbit torque (SOT). However, distinguishing and manipulating orbital torque in heavy metal/ferromagnet (HM/FM) remains a challenge, limiting the promising synergy of spin and orbital currents. Here, we design a HM/FM/FMSOC heterostructure and experimentally separate orbital torque contribution from spin torque by utilizing the distinct diffusion length of spin and orbital currents. Furthermore, we achieve the synergy of spin and orbital torques by controlling their relative strength, and obtain a 110% improvement in torque efficiency compared to the representative Pt/Co bilayer. Our findings not only contribute to a deeper understanding of SOT mechanisms and orbital current transport in HM/FM multilayers, but also highlight the promising prospect of orbital and spin torque synergy for optimizing the efficiency of next-generation spintronic devices.

Does Positron Attachment Take Place in Water Solution?

We performed a computational study of positron attachment to hydrated amino acids, namely glycine, alanine, and proline in the zwitterionic form. We combined the sequential quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (s-QM/MM) method with various levels of any particle molecular orbital (APMO) calculations. Consistent with previous studies, our calculations indicate the formation of energetically stable states for the isolated and microsolvated amino acids, in which the positron localizes around the carboxylate group. However, for the larger clusters, composed of 7 to 40 water molecules, hydrogen bonding between the solute and solvent molecules disfavors positron attachment to the amino acids, giving rise to surface states in which the positron is located around the water-vacuum interface. The analysis of positron binding energies, positronic orbitals, radial probability distributions, and annihilation rates consistently pointed out the change from positron-solute to positron-solvent states. Even with the inclusion of an electrostatic embedding around the aggregates, the positrons did not localize around the solute. Positron attachment to molecules in the gas phase is a well-established fact. The existence of hydrated positronic molecules could also be expected from the analogy with transient anion states, which are believed to participate in radiation damage. Our results indicate that positron attachment to hydrated biomolecules, even to zwitterions with negatively charged carboxylated groups, would not take place. For the larger clusters, in which positron-water interactions are favored, the calculations indicate an unexpectedly large contribution of the core orbitals to the annihilation rates, between 15 and 20%. Finally, we explored correlations between positron binding energies (PBEs) and dipole moments, as well as annihilation rates and PBEs, consistent with previous studies for smaller clusters.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Copper(II) Coordination Compounds with Methylammonium Cations

We synthesized four new copper(II) complexes with acetato and chlorido ligands and methylammonium (MA), dimethylammonium (DMA), and tetramethylammonium (TMA) counterions: (MA)4[Cu2Ac4Cl2]Cl2·2H2O (1), (DMA)2[Cu2Ac4Cl2] (2), (DMA)4[Cu2Ac4Cl2]Cl2·2H2O (3), and (TMA)5[Cu2Ac4Cl]Cl4·4H2O (4). All compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements, FTIR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Complexes 1, 2, and 3 consist of a dinuclear coordination anion [Cu2(Ac)4Cl2]2− with bridging acetato ligands arranged in a paddle-wheel conformation and square-pyramidal coordination around Cu(II) atoms, while the coordination anion in compound 4 is a polymeric chain, parallel to the c axis, with Cu2(Ac)4 units connected through bridging chlorido ligands. Magnetic measurements carried out between 2 K and 300 K indicate strong antiferromagnetic interactions between Cu(II) ions. The effective magnetic moments range from 1.94 μB to 2.21 μB, exceeding the spin-only value for Cu(II) ions (μeff=1.73 μB) and suggesting significant orbital contributions to the magnetic moment. Thermogravimetric analysis of all complexes showed a multistep decomposition behavior yielding elemental copper as the final product.

A new class of silatranes derived from nitrilotris(methylenephenylphosphinic) acid

Reactions of a series of trichlorosilanes RSiCl3 (R = Me, tBu, Bn, Ph, Vi, Cl) and the tris(trimethylsilyl) derivative of nitrilotris(methylenephenylphosphinic) acid (NTPA(SiMe3)3) proceeded with transsilylation (release of Me3SiCl) and afforded the respective silatrane-like cage compounds of the type N(CH2P(=O)(Ph)O)3SiR (NTPA(SiR), R = Me, tBu, Bn, Ph, Vi, Cl). According to single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses (for R = Me, tBu, Bn, Ph, Vi) and DFT analyses (R = Me, Cl), these compounds accommodate [4+1]-coordinate Si atoms in a capped tetrahedral coordination sphere. The environment of the N atom is trigonal pyramidal, with the lone pair pointing toward the Si atom with N⋅⋅⋅Si distances in the range of 2.7451(12) Å (R = Bn) to 2.827(5) Å (R = tBu). For R = Cl, N⋅⋅⋅Si distances were calculated at the PBE0 level to be 2.748 Å in the isolated molecule, 2.620 Å in a chloroform solvate of the type NTPA(SiCl)(HCCl3)3. Analyses of the Intrinsic Bond Orbitals (IBOs) and Natural Localized Molecular Orbitals (NLMOs) revealed polarization of the N-located lone pair toward Si, with only marginal orbital contribution of the Si atom in the resultant NLMO (ca. 1.4% for R = hydrocarbyl, 2.2% for R = Cl, 3.3% for R = Cl(HCCl3)3).

Hydroxymethylfurfural adsorption modulating charge separation characteristics of carbon-rich carbon nitrides for simultaneous photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and 2,5-diformylfuran production

Carbon-rich melon-based carbon nitrides (CNs), in which the sp2 N atoms and the terminal C–NH2 within the heptazine rings are partially replaced by the graphitic carbon atoms and C–H terminals, respectively, are synthesized through the condensation of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine-added supramolecular complexes comprising melamine and cyanuric acid. Optical characterizations reveal that increasing the C/N ratio in CNs improves their light-harvesting and charge-separation capabilities. Nevertheless, the photocatalytic activities of carbon nitrides reach an optimal level at an appropriate C/N ratio for simultaneous H2 evolution and 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) production from 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) aqueous solution. Hydrogen evolution from water and DFF production by selective HMF oxidation are driven by photogenerated electrons and holes, respectively. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the adsorption of HMF on carbon-CN dramatically influences the molecular orbital contributions to the lowest singlet excited state, altering its charge separation character and, consequently, the photocatalytic activity. The improvement of charge separation in the optimized CN by HMF adsorption is further confirmed by experimental measurements.

Growth of Ba2CoWO6 single crystals and their magnetic, thermodynamic and electronic properties

This study explores the bulk crystal growth, structural characterization, and physical property measurements of the cubic double perovskite Ba2CoWO6(BCWO). In BCWO, Co2+ions form a face-centred cubic lattice with non-distorted cobalt octahedra. The compound exhibits long-range antiferromagnetic order belowTN= 14 K. Magnetization data indicated a slight anisotropy along with a spin-flop transition at 10 kOe, a saturation field of 310 kOe and an ordered moment of 2.17µB atT= 1.6 K. Heat capacity measurements indicate an effectivej= 1/2 ground state configuration, resulting from the combined effects of the crystal electric field and spin-orbit interaction. Surface photovoltage analysis reveals two optical gaps in the UV-Visible region, suggesting potential applications in photocatalysis and photovoltaics. The magnetic and optical properties highlight the significant role of orbital contributions within BCWO, indicating various other potential applications.

Breakdown of the Total Dipole Moments of Diatomic Molecules into Individual Orbital Contributions.

Quantum chemical results at the CCSD(T)/def2-QZVPP and BP86/def2-QZVPP levels are reported for the neutral and charged diatomic molecules EF, EO- (E = B-Tl), EF+, EO, EN- (E = C-Pb), EO+, and EN (E = N-Bi). The theoretically predicted bond lengths and dipole moments are in good agreement with each other and with the available experimental values. It is shown that the total dipole moment of the molecules can be nicely separated into the contributions of the individual occupied molecular orbitals. The σ lone-pair orbital has a dominating influence on the total dipole moment in the lighter EX systems, where E is an atom of the first or second octal row of the periodic table, but it becomes less influential for the heavier species. The HOMO of the heavy cations PbF+, SbO+, and BiO+ is the degenerate π-bonding orbital, and the σ lone-pair orbital is the HOMO-2. The orbital energies of the (n-1)d AOs of the heavier atoms are in the same range as those of the lowest lying genuine valence orbitals, so the division into nuclear and valence orbitals is not so clear.

Long-Chain Molecular Crystals Antimony(III) Alkanethiolates Sb(SCnH2n+1)3 (n ≥ 12): Synthesis, Crystal and Electronic Structures, and Supramolecular Self-Assembly via Secondary Interactions.

Currently, there is not much success in solving the molecular and crystal structures of long-chain metal alkanethiolate complexes [M(SCnH2n+1)m] at the atomic level. Taking Sb(SC16H33)3 (1) as an example, we herein disclose the structural characteristics of long-chain trivalent antimony(III) alkanethiolates Sb(SCnH2n+1)3 (n ≥ 12) by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Specifically, the Sb atom is three-coordinated by alkanethiolate ligands and a slightly distorted triangular pyramid SbS3 core is formed owing to the unique intramolecular stereochemistry of three alkyl chains, namely, two of them almost parallel aligning and the third chain extending alone around the SbS3 core. We further determine the conformation, spatial orientation and packing density of alkyl chains in 1 along with a comparison to those in other long-chain crystalline systems, and reveal the roles of intermolecular van der Waals and Sb···S secondary interactions in molecular self-assembly, which enables 1 to be a layer-structured molecular crystal with a monoclinic P21/c unit cell. The band structures and the atomic orbital contributions to the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum for 1 have also been evaluated by DFT calculations and rationally correlated with its optical absorption property. This study will help understand and discover new structures and structure-property relations of long-chain chemical systems.

Spectroscopic, computational, docking, and cytotoxicity investigations of 5-chloro-2-mercaptobenzimidazole as an anti-breast cancer medication

The vibrations were attributed to 5-chloro-2-mercaptobenzimidazole using FTIR and FT-Raman spectroscopy. The optimized geometrical parameters, IR intensity, and the Raman activity of the vibrational bands were estimated using the Becke three-parameter Lee-Yang-Parr functional and the 6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. These findings are compared with the experimental data. The molecule’s HOMO-LUMO energy gap is found to be 4.418 eV. UV-Vis analysis reveals that the π→π* transition, which happens when electron density shifts from nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine atoms in the molecule, to the electrons of the C-C bonds of the ring. Total density of states was used to assess the molecular orbital contributions. There are 47α and 47β electrons totaling 94 electrons in the DOS spectrum. NBO investigations indicate that a considerable stabilizing energy of 30.37 and 30.90 Kcal/mol was revealed by the lone pair transition of N1 and N3 atoms to π*(C7-C8) and π*(C4-C9). The more electrophilic region, as seen by the red zone in MEP mapping, lies in the vicinity of the nitrogen and sulfur atoms. The molecule’s hydrogen atoms are found in the blue nucleophilic area. The theoretical chemical shifts for 1H and 13C NMR ranged from 7.03 to 8.23 ppm and 113.10 to 207.31 ppm, respectively. The docking research showed that the molecule attached to protein 1AQU with a greater binding energy of −6.8 Kcalmol−1. The cytotoxicity of the sample was evaluated against a MCF-7 cell line (IC50 = 16.54 µg/ml) and exhibited a good breast cancer action. In addition, ADMET prediction has been used to estimate the medicinal applicability of the chemical.

Structural, electronic, and optical properties of Zn-doped V2O5 thin films

V2O5 shows a diverse range of applications due to its remarkable electronic and optical properties. This research is designed to tune the electronic and optical properties of V2O5 through modification in the energy band profile by varying Zn doping concentration. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to investigate the Density of States (DOS) spectra for pure V2O5, exhibiting the prominent contribution of V-d and O-p orbitals, representing the p-d hybridized orbitals along with additional Zn-d orbital contribution in Zn-doped compositions. The effects of doping on the structural, morphological, elemental, and optical properties of the developed thin films were investigated employing x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), respectively. x-ray diffraction analysis revealed the orthorhombic crystal structure in thin films. Surface morphology depicts the uniformly distributed compact rod-like features. The experimentally calculated band gap was found to decrease with Zn doping from 2.77 eV for pure V2O5 to 2.45 eV for maximum doping content. A significant variation is recorded in optical parameters like the increase in absorption coefficient and optical conductivity, which makes these more favorable for optoelectronic devices, particularly focusing on photovoltaics.

First Principles Study of Structural, Electronic, Mechanical and Density of State Properties of the Half - heusler Alloy NaCrGe

In this study, the investigated structural parameters revealed that NaCrGe is stable at beta phase. We obtained that the material is a narrow bandgap semiconductor half-Heusler alloys with measured gap of 1.050 eV. The structure NaCrGe conduction band minimum (CBM) position at gamma(Γ) and the valence band maximum (VBM) located at X-point of the Brillouin zone. This indicates that the alloy NaCrGe has indirect bandgap semiconductors. The material NaCrGe is considered hybrids between metals and semiconductors. Hence, NaCrGe is Half-metallic heusler alloy. The calculated mechanical properties indicate that NaCrGe possesses good mechanical stability, making it suitable for structural applications. B/G ratio for NaCrGe is 2.40. This implies that NaCrGe is “ductile” in nature at ambient condition. Also NaCrGe is confirmed “ductile” in nature at positive value of C11 – C44 (+48.07). PDOS shows that Na-4p, Cr-4p and Ge- 2p has the highest orbital contribution for Na, Cr and Ge atoms respectively. At fermi energy both spin up and spin down is at zero point in the plot of projected density of state (PDOS) against energy. This revealed that NaCrGe is a half metallic heusler alloy.

Photoelectron momentum distributions of triatomic CO2 molecules by circularly polarized attosecond pulses

Abstract Molecular-frame photoelectron momentum distributions (MF-PMDs) have been studied for imaging molecular structures. We investigate the MF-PMDs of CO2 molecules exposed to circularly polarized (CP) attosecond laser pulses by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equations based on the single-active-electron approximation frames. Results show that high-frequency photons lead to photoelectron diffraction patterns, indicating molecular orbitals, these diffraction patterns can be illustrated by the ultrafast photoionization models. However, for the driving pulses with 30 nm, a deviation between MF-PMDs and theoretically predicted results of the ultrafast photoionization models is produced because the Coulomb effect strongly influences the molecular photoionization. Meanwhile, the MF-PMDs rotates in the same direction as the helicity of driving laser pulses. Our results also demonstrate that the MF-PMDs in a CP laser pulse are the superposition of those in the parallel and perpendicular linearly polarized cases. The simulations efficiently visualize molecular orbital geometries and structures by ultrafast photoelectron imaging. Furthermore, we determine the contribution of HOMO and HOMO-1 orbitals to ionization by varying the relative phase and the ratio of these two orbitals.

Combined Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the Electrochemical Behavior of Hydroxy‐Substituted Anils

AbstractThe present work explored the electrochemical behavior of two organic compounds, o‐hydroxybenzylidene‐orthochloroaniline(Anil‐1) and o‐hydroxynaphthalidene‐orthochloro aniline(Anil‐2) through a series of theoretical and experimental investigations. The vibrational frequencies of two anilswere analyzed experimentally by FTIR and theoretically by DFT studies. A comparison of the frequencies with their unsubstituted analog, o‐hydroxybenzylideneaniline, confirmed the electron‐donating nature of the −Cl and −OH substituents in anils. The hyperconjugative interaction energy obtained from NBO analysis divulged the direction of the electron donation from the donor orbitals to the acceptor orbitals. UV‐visible studies illustrated prominent π→π* electronic transitions with significant oscillator strength(0.10–0.26) and molar extinction coefficient(~104) experimentally. Analysis of the global and local reactive descriptors of anils revealed a lower HOMO‐LUMO energy gap of Anil‐2(4.05 eV) than Anil‐1(4.46 eV), corroborating the order of decreasing reactivity to be Anil‐2>Anil‐1. The Cyclic Voltammetry studies disclosed the involvement of an oxidation process in Anil‐1 and Anil‐2 with a higher oxidation potential of Anil‐1 (1.43 V) than Anil‐2(1.31 V) due to the naphthyl moiety of the latter. However, the absence of a cathodic peak in both cases envisaged the irreversible nature of oxidation. The results demonstrated that both the anils could be suitable optical materials for microelectronics applications.

Intrinsic negative magnetoresistance from the chiral anomaly of multifold fermions

The chiral anomaly - a hallmark of chiral spin-1/2 Weyl fermions - is an imbalance between left- and right-moving particles that underpins phenomena such as particle decay and negative longitudinal magnetoresistance in Weyl semimetals. The discovery that chiral crystals can host higher-spin generalizations of Weyl quasiparticles without high-energy counterparts, known as multifold fermions, raises the fundamental question of whether the chiral anomaly is a more general phenomenon. Answering this question requires materials with chiral quasiparticles within a sizable energy window around the Fermi level that are unaffected by extrinsic effects such as current jetting. Here, we report the chiral anomaly of multifold fermions in CoSi, which features multifold bands within ~0.85 eV of the Fermi level. By excluding current jetting through the squeezing test, we measure an intrinsic, longitudinal negative magnetoresistance. We develop a semiclassical theory to show that the negative magnetoresistance originates in the chiral anomaly, despite a sizable and detrimental orbital magnetic moment contribution. A concomitant non-linear Hall effect supports the multifold-fermion origin of the magnetotransport. Our work confirms the chiral anomaly of higher-spin generalizations of Weyl fermions, currently inaccessible outside solid-state platforms.
