Recent paper is making a buzz for having found evidence of semi-Dirac fermions in ZrSiS:
These fermions have a linear dispersion relation in one direction but quadratic in the other two (thus some news articles saying that it has mass only along some axes). Of course now the speculation is if one can do the same in 2D materials and find some applications. Anybody here has any insight on previous theories about semi-Dirac fermions? I leave this thread open for discussion of the paper.
 
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
