Employing a two-band model of Weyl semimetal, the existence of the chiral

magnetic effect (CME) is established within the linear-response theory. The crucial

role played by the limiting procedure in deriving correct transport properties

is clarified. Besides, in contrast to the prediction based on linearized effective

models, the value of the CME coefficient in the uniform limit shows a nontrivial

dependence on various model parameters. Furthermore, we show that the Weyl

nodes are not required for the CME in a clean, infinite system. Similar to the

anomalous Hall effect, the CME results directly from the Berry curvature of

energy bands, even when there is no monopole source from the Weyl nodes.

A Multielectron bubble (MEB) is a cavity formed inside liquid helium with a

layer of electrons confined to its inner surface. Here we describe an experiment

to study the behaviour of MEBs pressed against a charge collection electrode,

where the electrode was covered with thin films of different materials, comprising

of both metals and dielectrics. Preliminary analysis of the experimental data

suggests that MEBs lose their charge in a time scale of seconds when they are

held against the thin film. We suspect that quantum tunnelling of electrons

through the thin layer of helium between the MEB and the thin film plays the

dominant role in determining the charge loss mechanism.
