Based on $ab$ $initio$ calculations and low-energy effective $k{\cdot}p$ model, we propose a type of Weyl nodal point-line fermion, composed of 0D Weyl points and 1D Weyl nodal line, in ferromagnetic material Eu$_5$Bi$_3$. In the absence of…

In the rapidly expanding field of topological materials there is growing interest in systems whose topological electronic band features can be induced or controlled by magnetism. Magnetic Weyl semimetals, which contain linear band crossings…

Weyl semimetals in three-dimensional crystals provide the paradigm example of topologically protected band nodes. It is usually taken for granted that a pair of colliding Weyl points annihilate whenever they carry opposite chiral charge. In…

The extension of the topological classification of band insulators to topological semimetals gave way to the topology classes of Dirac, Weyl, and nodal line semimetals with their unique Fermi arc and drum head boundary modes. Similarly,…

Non-centrosymmetric superconductors have recently attracted much attention, since the lack of inversion symmetry mixes spin singlet and triplet pairing states, which may allow the realization of topological superconductivity. In this work,…

In a topological insulator the metallic surface states are easily distinguished from the insulating bulk states (FuKane07). By contrast, in a topological superconductor (FuKane08,Qi,FuBerg,Oppen), much less is known about the relationship…

Weyl fermion is a massless Dirac fermion with definite chirality, which has been long pursued since 1929. Though it has not been observed as a fundamental particle in nature, Weyl fermion can be realized as low-energy excitation around Weyl…
