   • 2016, Takahiro Morimoto, Naoto Nagaosa, “Chiral anomaly and giant magnetochiral anisotropy in noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetals”, in arXiv‎^[1]:

     The obtained formula for $\gamma$ shows that the magnetochiral anisotropy is strongly enhanced when the chemical potential is tuned to Weyl points, and that noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetals such as TaAs can exhibit much larger magnetochiral anisotropy than that observed in other materials so far..
