In the absence of magnetic field, the Hall effect in the linear response regime vanishes due to time-reversal symmetry. However, a transverse charge current can still occur in second-order response to an external electric field, as a result of the Berry curvature dipole (BCD) in momentum space. While there has been much effort to understand nonlinear transport due to a BCD in bulk, here we show that for Weyl semimetals the surface Fermi arcs of a proper chosen surface give rise to a giant BCD. In particular, the surface BCD scales with the sample size. In our study, we employ a general k-dot-p model which covers a wide class of type-I Weyl materials.
