Real-world topological semimetals typically exhibit Dirac and Weyl nodes that coexist with trivial Fermi pockets. This tends to mask the physics of the relativistic quasiparticles. Using the example of ZrTe5, we show that strain provides a…
Dirac semimetal (DSM) hosts four-fold degenerate isolated band-crossing points with linear dispersion, around which the quasiparticles resemble the relativistic Dirac Fermions. It can be described by a 4 * 4 massless Dirac Hamiltonian which…
Topological semimetal is a topic of general interest in material science. Recently, a new kind of topological semimetal called type-II Dirac semimetal with tilted Dirac cones is discovered in PtSe2 family. However, the further investigation…
Type-II Dirac/Weyl semimetals are characterized by strongly tilted Dirac cones such that the Dirac/Weyl node emerges at the boundary of electron and hole pockets as a new state of quantum matter, distinct from the standard Dirac/Weyl points…
We have given a summary on our theoretical predictions of three kinds of topological semimetals (TSMs), namely, Dirac semimetal (DSM), Weyl semimetal (WSM) and Node-Line Semimetal (NLSM). TSMs are new states of quantum matters, which are…
Dirac semimetals show nontrivial physical properties and can host exotic quantum states like Weyl semimetals and topological insulators under suitable external conditions. Here, by combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy…
Topological Dirac semimetals are a class of semimetals that host symmetry-protected Dirac points near the Fermi level, which arise due to a band inversion of the conduction and valence bands. In this work, we study the less explored class…
Topological semimetals, known for their intriguing properties arising from band degeneracies, have garnered significant attention. However, the discovery of a material realization and the detailed characterization of spinless Dirac…
We show the occurence of Dirac, Triple point, Weyl semimetal and topological insulating phase in a single ternary compound using specific symmetry preserving perturbations. Based on {\it first principle} calculations, \textbf{\textit{k.p}}…
We use first-principles methods to reveal that in ZrTe$_5$, a layered van der Waals material like graphite, atomic displacements corresponding to five of the six zone-center A$_g$ (symmetry-preserving) phonon modes can drive a topological…
The semi-metals having electrons near the Fermi level follow the relativistic equation of motion, and show Dirac or Weyl-type behavior. Their orbital resolved electronic bands analysis indicates the non-trivial topological states. Through…
Second-order topological semimetals (SOTSMs) are featured with hinge Fermi arcs. How to generate them in different systems has attracted much attention. We propose a scheme to create exotic SOTSMs by periodic driving. Novel Dirac SOTSMs,…
Topological Dirac semimetal is a newly discovered class of materials and has attracted intense attentions. This material can be viewed as a three-dimensional (3D) analogue of graphene and has linear energy dispersion in bulk, leading to a…
Among the quantum materials that gained interest recently are the topological Dirac/Weyl semimetals, where conduction and valence bands touch at points in reciprocal (k)-space, and the Dirac nodal-line semimetals, where these bands touch…
Topological phases arise from the elegant mathematical structures imposed by the interplay between symmetry and topology1-5. From gapped topological insulators to gapless semimetals, topological materials in both quantum and classical…
Symmetry protected Dirac semimetals can be transformed into Weyl semimetals by breaking the protecting symmetry, leading to many exotic quantum phenomena such as chiral anomaly and anomalous Hall effect. Here we show that, due to the large…
In the presence of certain symmetries, three-dimensional Dirac semimetals can harbor not only surface Fermi arcs, but also surface Dirac cones. Motivated by the experimental observation of rotation-symmetry-protected Dirac semimetal states…
The discovery of topological semimetal phase in three-dimensional (3D) systems is a new breakthrough in topological material research. Dirac nodal-line semimetal is one of the three topological semimetal phases discovered so far; it is…
Based on first-principles calculations, we find that LiZnBi, a metallic hexagonal $ABC$ compound, can be driven into a Dirac semimetal with a pair of Dirac points by strain. The nontrivial topological nature of the strained LiZnBi is…
The exploration of topological phase transition (TPT) mechanisms constitutes a central theme in quantum materials research. Conventionally, transitions between Weyl semimetals (WSMs) and other topological states rely on the breaking of…
