Time-reversal-broken Weyl semimetal in the Hofstadter regime

We study the phase diagram for a lattice model of a time-reversal-broken three-dimensional Weyl semimetal (WSM) in an orbital magnetic field with a flux of p/q per unit cell. In addition to trivially insulating and layered Chern insulating (LCI) phases, we find new WSM phases with 2q, 4q, 6q, and 8q Weyl nodes. In a robust region of the parameter space (consisting of the ratios of hopping parameters in the different directions) the LCI coexists with the WSM. We analyze the dispersions of the bulk and surface states in the phases and at the phase boundaries, and conclude with the behavior of the spectrum in the limit of small orbital flux.
