Based on first-principles calculation and effective model analysis, we propose that the cubic antiperovskite material Cu$_3$PdN can host a three-dimensional (3D) topological nodal line semimetal state when spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is…
Based on first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis, we propose that a transition metal rutile oxide, in particular $\beta'$-PtO$_2$, can host a three-dimensional topological Dirac semimetal phase. We find that $\beta'$-PtO$_2$…
Topological nodal-line semimetals are exotic conductors that host symmetry-protected conducting nodal-lines in their bulk electronic spectrum and nontrivial drumhead states on the surface. Based on first-principles calculations and an…
In topological semimetals the Dirac points can form zero-dimensional and one-dimensional manifolds, as predicted for Dirac/Weyl semimetals and topological nodal line semimetals, respectively. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we…
A Dirac fermion emerges as a result of interplay between symmetry and topology in condensed matter. Current research moves towards investigating the Dirac fermions in the presence of manybody effects in correlated system. Here, we…
We use first principles calculations to study the electronic properties of rock salt rare earth monopnictides La$X$ ($X=$N, P, As, Sb, Bi). A new type of topological band crossing termed `linked nodal rings' is found in LaN when the small…
Most topological insulators discovered today in spinful systems can be transformed from topological semimetals (TSMs) with vanishing bulk gap via introducing the spin-orbit coupling (SOC), which manifests the intrinsic links between the…
Weak topological insulators and Dirac semimetals are gapped and nodal phases with distinct topological properties, respectively. Here, we propose a novel topological phase that exhibits features of both and is dubbed composite Dirac…
The realization of Dirac and Weyl physics in solids has made topological materials one of the main focuses of condensed matter physics. Recently, the topic of topological nodal line semimetals, materials in which Dirac or Weyl-like…
Recently, Valenti et al. pointed out the significance of the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in organic materials, and explained the anomalous insulating behavior of a Dirac semimetal alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 at low temperatures in terms of the…
We theoretically study three-dimensional topological semimetals (TSMs) with nodal lines protected by crystalline symmetries. Compared with TSMs with point nodes, e.g., Weyl semimetals and Dirac semimetals, where the conduction and the…
Topological semimetals have energy bands near the Fermi energy sticking together at isolated points/lines/planes in the momentum space, which are often accompanied by stable surface states and intriguing bulk topological responses. Although…
We theoretically propose that, the single crystal formed TaS is a new type of topological semimetal, hosting ring-shaped gapless nodal lines and triply degenerate points (TDPs) in the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In the presence of…
Unlike time-reversal topological insulators, surface metallic states with Dirac cone dispersion in the recently discovered topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) are protected by crystal symmetry. To date, TCI behaviors have been…
Dirac nodal line semimetals with topologically protected drumhead surface states have attracted intense theoretical and experimental attention over a decade. However, the study of type-II Dirac nodal line semimetals is rare, especially the…
By first-principles calculations, we find that Ba2X(X=Si, Ge) hosts a topological semimetal phase with one nodal ring in the kx=0 plane, which is protected by the glide mirror symmetry when spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is ignored. The…
A Dirac nodal-line phase, as a quantum state of topological materials, usually occur in three-dimensional or at least two-dimensional materials with sufficient symmetry operations that could protect the Dirac band crossings. Here, we report…
The electronic and topological properties of single-layer X3YZ6 (X=Nb,Ta, Y=Si,Ge,Sn, Z=S,Se,Te) materials have been studied with the aid of first principles calculations. This kind of materials belong to topological semimetals (TMs) with…
The experimental discovery of the topological Dirac semimetal establishes a platform to search for various exotic quantum phases in real materials. ZrSiS-type materials have recently emerged as topological nodal-line semimetals where gapped…
Semimetals, in which conduction and valence bands touch but do not form Fermi surfaces, have attracted considerable interest for their anomalous properties starting with the discovery of Dirac matter in graphene and other two-dimensional…
