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 interplay between topology and crystalline symmetries in materials can lead to a variety of topological crystalline insulator (TCI) states. Despite significant effort towards their experimental realization, so far only…

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…

Using first--principles density functional calculations, we systematically investigate electronic structures and topological properties of InNbX2 (X=S, Se). In the absence of spin--orbit coupling (SOC), both compounds show nodal lines…

In an ordinary three-dimensional metal the Fermi surface forms a two-dimensional closed sheet separating the filled from the empty states. Topological semimetals, on the other hand, can exhibit protected one-dimensional Fermi lines or…

Nodal line semimetals feature topologically protected band crossings between the bulk valence and conduction bands that extend along a finite dimension in the form of a line or a loop. While ZrSiS and similar materials have attracted…
