The efect is associated with the presence of time-reversal symmetry breaking terms in the Hamiltonian which drive a crossover from s- to p-wave scattering. The profles of the corresponding molecular orbitals and their spin polarizations are defned by the relative orientation of the lines connecting two Weyl nodes and two impurities. The magnetic character of the molecular orbitals and their tunability open the way for using doped Weyl semimetals for spintronics and realization of qubits.8452eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessElectronic properties and materialsTopological defectsRafeindirSegulmagninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleScientific Reports10.1038/s41598-019-44842-8
