Effect of inversion symmetry on the excitations in WP₂ — •Dirk Wulferding^1,2, Peter Lemmens^1,2, Yurii Pashkevich^1,3, Tanya Shevtsova³, Claudia Felser⁴, and Chandra Shekhar⁴ — ¹IPKM, TU-BS, Braunschweig, Germany — ²LENA, TU-BS, Braunschweig, Germany — ³Galkin DonFTI, Kyiv, Ukraine — ⁴MPI CPfS, Dresden, Germany

The two structural modifications of WP₂, one with and one without a center of inversion, allow to probe the effect of global symmetry on a Weyl semimetal. In our report we uncover phonon anomalies as well as electronic fluctuation of both phases using Raman scattering and compare their impact on anomalous charge transport [1,2,3].
