The ab-plane optical conductivity of the Weyl semimetal TaP is calculated from the band structure and compared to the experimental data. The overall agreement between theory and experiment is found to be best when the Fermi level is slightly (20 to 60 meV) shifted upwards in the calculations. This confirms a small unintentional doping of TaP, reported earlier, and allows a natural explanation of the strong low-energy (50 meV) peak seen in the experimental ab-plane optical conductivity: this peak originates from transitions between the almost parallel non-degenerate electronic bands split by spin-orbit coupling. The temperature evolution of the peak can be reasonably well reproduce by calculations using an analog of the Mott formula.

In a biased two-dimensional electron gas, the presence of spin-orbit coupling of both the Rashba and Dresselhaus type leads to a Hall conductivity of charge carriers in the absence of an external magnetic field. We study the dynamical charge-Hall effect, the field-induced spin accumulation, and the magnetoelectric effect for a system with short-range elastic impurity scattering by analytically solving the kinetic equations for the spin-density matrix in the linear response regime. By tuning the strength of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling as well as the frequency and direction of the applied electric field, eigenmodes of the spin-coupled system are identified.
