We show that coupling of the orbital magnetic moment to the external magnetic field, which is otherwise absent in the massless model, breaks valley symmetry, results in finite and measurable corrections to the longitudinal and Hall conductivity, and yields anomalous Hall conductivity due to the Berry curvature. We also show that, remarkably, magnetoresistance induced by the orbital magnetic moment can be either positive or negative; the sign depends on the amount of disorder, and is different for both conventional and anomalous contributions to the magnetoresistance. Recent material advances and upcoming experiments on cold atoms that may realize pseudospin-1 fermions makes our study timely and appropriate.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-07T17:10:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "anomalous transport", "orbital magnetic moment", "yields anomalous hall conductivity", "external magnetic field", "breaks valley symmetry" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
