Dirac materials are of great interest as condensed matter realizations of the Dirac and Weyl equations. In particular, they serve as a starting point for the study of topological phases. This physics has been extensively studied in…

Two-dimensional Dirac semimetal with tilted Dirac cone has recently attracted increasing interest. Tilt of Dirac cone can be realized in a number of materials, including deformed graphene, surface state of topological crystalline insulator,…

Topological phases arise from the elegant mathematical structures imposed by the interplay between symmetry and topology1-5. From gapped topological insulators to gapless semimetals, topological materials in both quantum and classical…

Dirac semimetals can be classified into types I, II, and III based on the topological charge of their Dirac points. If a three-dimensional (3D) system can be sliced into a family of kz-dependent normal and topological insulators, type I…

We consider quantum rings realized in materials where the dynamics of charge carriers mimics that of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac electrons. A general theoretical description of the ring-subband structure is developed that applies to a range…

Emergent Dirac fermion states underlie many intriguing properties of graphene, and the search for them constitute one strong motivation to explore two-dimensional (2D) allotropes of other elements. Phosphorene, the ultrathin layers of black…

The nodal and effectively relativistic dispersion featuring in a range of novel materials including two- dimensional graphene and three-dimensional Dirac and Weyl semimetals has attracted enormous interest during the past decade. Here, by…

Relativistic massless Dirac fermions can be probed with high-energy physics experiments, but appear also as low-energy quasi-particle excitations in electronic band structures. In condensed matter systems, their massless nature can be…

There is evidence for existence of massless Dirac quasi-particles in graphene, which satisfy Dirac equation in (1+2) dimensions near the so called Dirac points which lie at the corners at the graphene's brilluoin zone. We revisit the…

We propose that the strain induced effective pseudo-magnetic field in graphene can also be explained by a curl movement of the Dirac points, if the Dirac points can be regarded as a slowly varying function of position. We also prove that…

It is highly desirable to modify and improve the Dirac electron system of graphene for novel electronic properties and promising applications. For this purpose, we study 2D heterostructures consisting of graphene and monolayer TMDs by means…

We study the collective charge-density modes (plasmons) of two-dimensional nonsymmorphic Dirac semimetals, within the random-phase approximation (RPA) in presence of Coulomb interaction. Without loss of generality, we consider a system in a…

Since the discovery of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), flat bands in Dirac materials have become a prominent platform for realizing strong correlation effects in electronic systems. Here we show that the symmetry group…

Three-dimensional (3D) topological Dirac semimetal, when thinned down to 2D few layers, is expected to possess gapped Dirac nodes via quantum confinement effect and concomitantly display the intriguing quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator…

Using an evolutionary algorithm in combination with first-principles density functional theory calculations, we identify two-dimensional (2D) CaP$_3$ monolayer as a new Dirac semimetal due to inversion and nonsymmorphic spatial symmetries…

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, composed of single atomic layers, have attracted vast research interest since the breakthrough discovery of graphene. One major benefit of such systems is the simple ability to tune the chemical potential by…

When the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is absent, almost all the proposed half-metals with the twofold degenerate nodal points at the K (or K') in two-dimensional (2D) materials are misclassified as "Dirac half-metals" owing to the way graphene…

Crystalline symmetries can generate exotic band-crossing features, which can lead to unconventional fermionic excitations with interesting physical properties. We show how a cubic Dirac point---a four-fold-degenerate band-crossing point…

A data mining study of electronic Kohn-Sham band structures was performed to identify Dirac materials within the Organic Materials Database (OMDB). Out of that, the 3-dimensional organic crystal…

Realization of a three-dimensional (3D) analogue of graphene has been a central challenge in topological materials science. Graphene is stabilized by covalent bonding unlike conventional spin-orbit type 3D Dirac semimetals (DSMs). In this…
