| contents | The phenomenon of nonlinear transport has attracted tremendous interest within the condensed matter community. We present a theoretical framework for nonlinear transport based on the nonequilibrium retarded Green's function, and examine the impact of disorder on nonlinear magnetotransport in Weyl semimetals (WSMs). It is demonstrated that bilinear magnetoconductivity can be induced in disordered WSMs by several mechanisms, including impurity-induced tilting of the Weyl cones, Lorentz-force-induced normal orbital magnetic moment, and chiral anomaly arising from the Berry-curvature-induced anomalous orbital magnetic moment. Additionally, we observe that the localization of Weyl fermions by impurity scattering will lead to resonant dips in both the chiral chemical potential and magnetoconductivity when the Fermi energy approaches the impurity resonance states. Our findings offer a theoretical proposition for modulating nonreciprocal transport in topological semimetals. |
