Weyl semimetals exhibitinging the topologically nontrivial touching points in electronic band dispersion of solids pave the wave way to novel electronic devices and functionalities. Here, we demonstrate the signature of topologically…
Topological Weyl semimetals have been attracting broad interest. Recently, a new type of Weyl point with topological charge of $4$, termed as charge-4 Weyl point (C-4 WP), was proposed in spinless systems. Here, we show the minimum symmetry…
We systematically investigate the properties of bulk, surface and edge plasmons in Weyl semimetals in presence of a magnetic field. It is found that unidirectional plasmons with different properties exist on different surfaces, which is in…
Recent discovery of both gapped and gapless topological phases in weakly correlated electron systems has introduced various relativistic particles and a number of exotic phenomena in condensed matter physics. The Weyl fermion is a prominent…
This year, Liu \textit{et al}. [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{104}, L041405 (2021)] proposed a new class of topological phonons (TPs; i.e., one-nodal surface (NS) phonons), which provides an effective route for realizing one-NSs in phonon systems.…
In the search for stable topological semimetals with clean band profiles, we have screened all the 3$d$ metal-intercalated transition-metal dichalcogenides (3dI-TMDCs) by performing hybrid-functional-based ab initio calculations. Two…
The observation of wormholes has proven to be difficult in the field of astrophysics. However, with the discovery of novel topological quantum materials it is possible to observe astrophysical and particle physics effects in condensed…
Weyl semimetals are a three dimensional gapless topological phase in which bands intersect at arbitrary points -- the Weyl nodes -- in the Brillouin zone. These points carry a topological quantum number known as the \emph{chirality} and…
Chiral phonons were initially proposed and further verified experimentally in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal crystal lattices. Many intriguing features brought about by chiral phonons are attributed to the pseudo-angular momenta which are…
Weyl points (WPs), as nodal degenerate points in three-dimensional (3D) momentum space, are ideal if they are symmetry-related, well-separated, residing at the same energy and far from the nontopological bands. Although type-II WPs show…
We study the occurrence of symmetry-enforced topological band crossings in tetragonal crystals with strong spin-orbit coupling. By computing the momentum dependence of the symmetry eigenvalues and the global band topology in the entire…
We discover three-dimensional intertwined Weyl phases, by developing a theory to create topological phases. The theory is based on intertwining existing topological gapped and gapless phases protected by the same crystalline symmetry. The…
We study the presence of an external magnetic field, in combination with torsional strain, over the electron-phonon interactions in a type I Weyl semimetal. This particular superposition of field and strain, modeled in the continuum…
Double-Weyl fermions, as novel topological states of matter, have been mostly discussed in nonmagnetic materials. Here, based on density-functional theory and symmetry analysis, we propose the realization of fully spin-polarized double-Weyl…
Topological semimetal, hosting spin-1 Weyl point beyond Dirac and Weyl points, has attracted a great deal of attention. However, the spin-1 Weyl semimetal, which possesses exclusively the spin-1 Weyl points in a clean frequency window,…
In electronics systems, the Weyl points can be classified into three types based on the geometry of the Fermi surface, and each type exhibits various unique and intriguing phenomena. While the type-I and type-II Weyl points have been…
High-order topological charge is of intensive interest in the field of topological matters. In real materials, cubic Dirac point is rare and the chiral charge of one Weyl point (WP) has never be found to exceed |C| = 3 for spin- 1/2…
Weyl points emerge as topological monopoles of Berry flux in the three-dimensional (3D) momentum space and have been extensively studied in topological semimetals. As the underlying topological principles apply to any type of waves under…
We have developed a theory for the energy dispersion of chiral phonons in a simplest cubic lattice. Among all the phonon modes, only the optical triplet modes exhibit the intrinsic characteristics of chiral phonons near k=0, and we examine…
In nature, $\alpha$-quartz crystals frequently form contact twins - two adjacent crystals with the same chemical structure but different crystallographic orientation, sharing a common lattice plane. As $\alpha$-quartz crystallises in a…
