## Abstract

Having the chiral anomaly induced magneto-transport phenomena extensively studied in single Weyl semimetal (WSM) as characterized by topological charge $n=1$, we here address the transport properties in the context of multi-Weyl semimetals (m-WSMs) where $n>1$. Using semiclassical Boltzmann transport formalism with the relaxation time approximation, we investigate several intriguing transport properties such as longitudinal magneto-conductivity (LMC), planar Hall conductivity (PHC), thermo-electric coefficients (TECs) and planar Nernst coefficient (PNC) for m-WSMs in the co-planar setups with external magnetic field, electric field and temperature gradient. Starting from the low-energy model, we show analytically that at zero temperature both LMC and PHC vary cubically with topological charge as $n^3$ while the finite temperature ($T \neq 0$) correction is proportional to $(n+n^2)T^2$. Interestingly, we find that both the longitudinal and transverse TECs vary quadratically with topological charge as $n^2$ and the PNC is found to vary non-monotonically as a function of $n$. Our study hence clearly suggests that the inherent properties of m-WSMs indeed show up distinctly through the chiral anomaly and the chiral magnetic effect induced transport coefficients in two different setups. Moreover, in order to obtain an experimentally realizable picture, we simultaneously verify our analytical findings through the numerical calculations using the lattice model of m-WSMs.
