We discuss dynamic spin susceptibility (DSS) in two-dimensional (2D) Dirac electrons with spin-orbit interactions to characterize topological insulators. The imaginary part of the DSS appears as an absorption rate in response to a…

The Dirac equation is a paradigmatic model that describes a range of intriguing properties of relativistic spin-1/2 particles, from the existence of antiparticles to Klein tunneling. However, the Dirac-like equations have found application…

We propose to realize Dirac states in an inclined two-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model on a square lattice. We show that a pair of Dirac points protected by space-time inversion symmetry appear in the semimetal phase. The locations of…

It is highly desirable to combine recent advances in the topological quantum phases with technologically relevant materials. Chromium dioxide (CrO2) is a half-metallic material, widely used in high-end data storage applications. Using first…

Dirac node lines (DNLs) are characterized by Dirac-type linear crossings between valence and conduction bands along one-dimensional node lines in the Brillouin zone (BZ). Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) usually shifts the degeneracy at the…

We present a new type of three-dimensional essential Dirac semimetal with magnetic ordering. The Dirac points are protected by the magnetic space groups and cannot be gapped without lowering such symmetries, where the combined antiunitary…

Topological semimetals, representing a new topological phase that lacks a full bandgap in bulk states and exhibiting nontrivial topological orders, recently have been extended to photonic systems, predominantly in photonic crystals and to a…

Two-dimensional Dirac semimetals have attracted much attention because of their linear energy dispersion and non-trivial Berry phase. Graphene-like 2D Dirac materials are gapless only within certain approximations, e.g., if spin-orbit…

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) combined with electronic correlation can induce topological phase transition, producing novel electronic states. Here, we investigate the impact of SOC combined with correlation effects on physical properties of…

Dirac fermions have been studied intensively in condensed matter physics in recent years. Many theoretical predictions critically depend on the number of valleys where the Dirac fermions are realized. In this work, we report the discovery…

As a new type of quantum matter, Dirac node line (DNL) semimetals are currently attracting widespread interest in condensed matter physics and material science. The DNL featured by a closed line consisting of linear band crossings in the…

Valleytronics, that uses the valley index or valley pseudospin to encode information, has emerged as an interesting field of research in two-dimensional (2D) systems with promising device applications. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and…

Three dimensional (3D) Dirac semimetals are 3D analogue of graphene, which display Dirac points with linear dispersion in k-space, stabilized by crystal symmetry. Cd3As2 and Na3Bi were predicted to be 3D Dirac semimetals and were…

We derive an effective Hamiltonian which describes the dynamics of electrons in the conduction band of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) in the presence of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. We discuss in detail both the…

Spin-orbitronics and Dirac quasiparticles are two fields of condensed matter physics initiated independently about a decade ago. Here we predict that Dirac quasiparticles can be controlled by the spin-orbit torque reorientation of the…

Recently, a 2D orthorhombic silver-organic framework, Ag3C20 monolayer, was synthesized by assembling organic molecules linked with multiple aryl-metal bonds. Herein, via first-principles study, we demonstrate that owing to the unique…

Valley pseudospin in two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) allows optical control of spin-valley polarization and intervalley quantum coherence. Defect states in TMDs give rise to new exciton features and…

Recently, the interplay between the Dirac/Weyl fermion and various bulk properties, such as magnetism, has attracted considerable attention, since unconventional transport and optical phenomena were discovered. However, the design…

Spin gapless semiconductors (SGSs) are a new class of zero gap materials which have a fully spin polarised electrons and holes. They bridge zero gap materials and half-metals. The band structures of the SGSs can have two types of energy…

Dirac semimetals, the materials featured with discrete linearly crossing points (called Dirac points) between four bands, are critical states of topologically distinct phases. Such gapless topological states have been accomplished by a…
