  In a recent paper (JPCM 29, 445302 (2017)) we have studied the effects of
mechanical strain and magnetic field on the electronic transport properties in
graphene. In this article we extended our work to Weyl semimetals (WSM). We
show that although the WSM are 3D materials, most of the analysis done for
graphene (2D material) can be carried out. In concrete, we studied the an
electronic transport through a cylindrical region submitted to torsional strain
and external magnetic field. We provide exact analytical expressions for the
scattering cross section and the transmitted electronic current. In addition,
we show the node-polarization effect on the current and propose a recipe to
measure the torsion angle from transmission experiments.
