Topological semimetals, such as Wyel semimetals and Dirac semimetals exhibit amazing electronic properties, when they are studied in bulk form. We are working on epitaxial, wafer scale version of such materials. In particular, recently we reported on the first epitaxial TaAs,

Subject is really hot now, and high impact factor journal asked me for Preview article on epitaxy of TaAs,
Recently, we reported also on the first MBE growth of NiTe2 Direct semimetal
