Abstract
Nonlocality is one of the most striking signatures of the topological nature of Weyl semimetals. We propose to probe the nonlocality in these materials via a measurement of a magnetic-field-dependent Coulomb drag between two sheets of graphene which are separated by a three-dimensional slab of Weyl semimetal. We predict amechanism of Coulomb drag, based on cyclotron orbits that are split between opposite surfaces of the semimetal. In the absence of impurity scattering between different Weyl nodes, this mechanism does not decay with the thickness of the semimetal.
