   Abstract:
   In this paper, we study the semiclassical behavior of Bloch electrons in the presence of Weyl nodes, which are singular points in the band structure of certain materials. We carry out asymptotic analysis and present a rigorous derivation of the semiclassical asymptotic expansion of the current of Bloch electrons with the presence of Weyl nodes. The analysis shows that the current contains two parts, one independent of the Weyl nodes and the other a contribution from the singular points. This work provides a theoretical foundation towards a rigorous justification of recent scientific discoveries in Weyl semimetals. The main innovation of this paper is a new strategy to deal with the singular points with quantitative estimates, which may have broader applications in multiscale models with singularities.
