The type II Dirac semimetal PdTe$_2$ is unique in the family of topological parent materials because it displays a superconducting ground state below 1.7 K. Despite wide speculations on the possibility of an unconventional topological…

Topological crystalline metals/semimetals (TCMs) have stimulated a great research interest, which broaden the classification of topological phases and provide a valuable platform to explore topological superconductivity. Here, we report the…

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) usually show simple structures, however, with interesting properties. Recently some TMDs have been pointed out as type-II Dirac semimetals. In the present work, we investigate the physical properties…

We show that previously measured small Fermi surface pockets within the antiferromagnetic phase of SrFe2As2 and BaFe2As2 are consistent with a Dirac dispersion modulated by interlayer hopping, giving rise to a Dirac point in k-space and a…

Specific properties, such as surface Fermi arcs, features of quantum oscillations and of various responses to a magnetic field, distinguish Dirac semimetals from ordinary materials. These properties are determined by Dirac points at which a…

By means of high-resolution angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) we have studied the fermiology of 2H transition metal dichalcogenide polytypes TaSe2, NbSe2, and Cu0.2NbS2. The tight-binding model of the electronic structure,…

The existence of chiral edge states, corresponding to the nontrivial bulk-band topology characterized by a non-vanishing topological invariant, and the manipulation of topological transport via chiral edge states promise topological…

The kagome lattice based on 3d transition metals is a versatile platform for novel topological phases hosting symmetry-protected electronic excitations and exotic magnetic ground states. However, the paradigmatic states of the idealized…

Exotic massless fermionic excitations with non-zero Berry flux, other than Dirac and Weyl fermions, could exist in condensed matter systems under the protection of crystalline symmetries, such as spin-1 excitations with 3-fold degeneracy…

Topological superconductivity has attracted intensive interest for its ability of hosting Majorana zero mode and implementing in topological quantum computations. Based on the first-principles calculations and the analysis of the effective…

While parallel segments in the Fermi level contours, often found at the surfaces of topological insulators (TIs) would imply "strong" nesting conditions, the existence of charge density waves (CDWs) - periodic modulations of the electron…

Topological Dirac semimetals (TDSs) exhibit bulk Dirac cones protected by time reversal and crystal symmetry, as well as surface states originating from non-trivial topology. While there is a manifold possible onset of superconducting order…

Nd2Ir2O7 is a correlated semimetal with the pyrochlore structure, in which competing spin-orbit coupling and electron-electron interactions are believed to induce a time-reversal symmetry broken Weyl semimetal phase characterized by pairs…

Binary bismuth chalcogenides Bi$_2$Se$_3$, Bi$_2$Te$_3$, and related materials are currently being extensively investigated as the reference topological insulators (TIs) due to their simple surface-state band dispersion (single Dirac cone)…

Recently, type-II Dirac fermions characterized by strongly titled Dirac cones have been proposed. The new fermions exhibit unique physical properties different from the type-I Dirac fermions in graphene, and thus attract tremendous…

We report the experimental realization of Dirac semimetal state in NdSb, a material with antiferromagnetic ground state. The occurrence of topological semimetal state has been well supported by our band structure calculations and the…

Aiming at the future spintronics device applications of the spin-polarized surface states in three-dimensional topological insulator, a highly insulating bulk state and a tunable Dirac cone surface state are required. Here we employ a slab…

Dirac fermions play a central role in the study of topological phases, for they can generate a variety of exotic states, such as Weyl semimetals and topological insulators. The control and manipulation of Dirac fermions constitute a…
