Transfer matrix analysis of non-Hermitian interfaces — •Jacob Fauman — Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Erlangen, Germany

Non-Hermitian systems exhibit unique features not present in Hermitian systems, including the so-called non-Hermitian skin effect in which the modes accumulate at the surface of the system. We analyze the interface between a non-Hermitian system and a Weyl semimetal analytically using the transfer matrix method. This approach is especially well-suited to the study of spatially inhomogeneous systems, and allows for analysis of the Fermi arcs at the interface. We also consider the effect of Hermitian and non-Hermitian spectral degeneracies on the interface modes.
