Abstract
in Dirac or Weyl semimetal is computed. The result is compared with the corresponding result from Dirac lagrangian. It is found that anomaly lagrangain and Dirac lagrangian exhibit the same E ⋅ B pattern, therefore the E ⋅ B signature may not serve a good indicator of the existence of axial anomaly. Because anomaly generates excessive right-handed electrons and positrons, pair production can give rise to spin current by applying gate voltage and charge current with depositing spin filters. These experiments are able to discern genuine anomaly phenomena.
