Other Condensed Matter 2019-09-04 v2

Abstract

The time reversal symmetric polar phase of the spin-triplet superfluid 3^3He has two types of Dirac nodal lines. In addition to the Dirac loop in the spectrum of the fermionic Bogoliubov quasiparticles in the momentum space (px,py,pz)(p_x,p_y,p_z), the spectrum of bosons (magnons) has Dirac loop in the 3D space of parameters -- the components of magnetic field (Hx,Hy,Hz)(H_x,H_y,H_z). The bosonic Dirac system lives on the border between the type-I and type-II.
