Popis: In this work, chiral anomalies and Drude enhancement in Weyl semimetals are separately discussed from a semi-classical and quantum perspective, clarifying the physics behind Weyl semimetals while avoiding explicit use of topological concepts. The intent is to provide a bridge to these modern ideas for educators, students, and scientists not in the field using the familiar language of traditional solid-state physics at the graduate or advanced undergraduate physics level.
