Abstract
We find an intervalley wave collective mode in two- and three-dimensional Dirac semimetals in the presence of a valley population imbalance. The dispersion relation of this mode is gapless, proportional to the square of the wave vector at small frequencies, and inversely proportional to the electron-electron exchange interaction energy. The valley wave serves as an energy gain source for the external field, that generates the intervalley transitions. The spin-wave analog is discussed for the case of a semimetal with nonequilibrium spin orientation.Description
