Escape from black holes in materials: Type II Weyl semimetals and generic edge states

Abstract: Type II Weyl semimetals are dictated by bulk excitations with tilted light cones, resembling the inside of black holes. We obtain generic boundary conditions for surface boundaries of the type II Weyl semimetals near Weyl nodes, and show that for a certain boundary condition edge states can escape out of the "black hole" event horizon. This means that for realization of the material "black hole" by the Type II Weyl semimetals a careful choice of the boundary condition is necessary.
