The topological mechanics is a perfect tool that can bridge the gap between the quantum and Newtonian physics and mechanics of materials. It requires discrete models of the material with analogies with the topological characteristics of…

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…

We study three-dimensional nodal line semimetals (NLSMs) with magnetic ordering and strong spin-orbit interaction. Two distinct classes of magnetic NLSMs are proposed. The first class is band-inversion NLSM where the accidental line node is…

A general strategy of alternated slide construction to craft topological metals is proposed, where there is a relative slide between the odd and even chains in the trivial spinless quantum wire array. Firstly, taking the three-leg ladder as…

We study the unique physical properties of topological nodal-loop semimetals protected by the coexistence of time-reversal and inversion symmetries with negligible spin-orbit coupling. We argue that strong correlation effects occur at the…

2D topological insulators promise novel approaches towards electronic, spintronic, and quantum device applications. This is owing to unique features of their electronic band structure, in which bulk-boundary correspondences enforces the…

Topological nodal-line semimetals are characterized by symmetry-protected one-dimensional band-touching lines or loops, which give rise to their peculiar Fermi surfaces at low energies. Furthermore, if time-reversal or inversion symmetry…

We show that sharply defined topological quantum phase transitions are not limited to states of matter with gapped electronic spectra. Such transitions may also occur between two gapless metallic states both with extended Fermi surfaces.…

A theory for nontrivial topology of band structure in metallic helimagnets is developed. Two theorems on electron dispersion in helimagnets are proved. They reveal a Kramers-like degeneracy in helical magnetic field. The generalized Bloch…

Non-Hermitian matrices are ubiquitous in the description of nature ranging from classical dissipative systems, including optical, electrical, and mechanical metamaterials, to scattering of waves and open quantum many-body systems. Seminal…

We use the first principles and effective Hamiltonian methods to study the electronic structure and magnetic properties of a recently synthesized layered antiferromagnetic square net topological semimetal EuZnSb$_2$ [1]. The main message of…

Semiclassical theories of electron and spin transport in metallic magnetic structures are reviewed with emphasis on the role of disorder and electronic band structures in the current perpendicular to the interface plane (CPP) transport…

Initiated by the discovery of topological insulators, topologically non-trivial materials have attracted immense interest in the physics community in the past decade. One of the latest additions to the field, the material class of…

We study the electrical conductivity in a nodal-line semimetal with charged impurities. The screening of the Coulomb potential in this system is qualitatively different from what is found in conventional metals or semiconductors, with the…

While the topological classification of insulators, semimetals, and superconductors in terms of nonspatial symmetries is well understood, less is known about topological states protected by crystalline symmetries, such as mirror reflections…

Topological nodal-line semimetals with exotic quantum properties are characterized by symmetry-protected line-contact bulk band crossings in the momentum space. However, in most of identified topological nodal-line compounds, these…

The past years have seen rapid progress in the classification of topological materials. These diagnostical methods are increasingly getting explored in the pertinent context of magnetic structures. We report on a general class of electronic…

Nodal chain is a typical topological phase in nodal line semimetals. Here, we propose a new topological phase -- interlocking nodal chains, in which two sets of nodal chains are interlocked each other. It includes one- (1D), two- (2D) and…

Semimetals exhibiting nodal lines or nodal surfaces represent a novel class of topological states of matter. While conventional Weyl semimetals exhibit momentum-space Dirac monopoles, these more exotic semimetals can feature unusual…

Conventional metals, insulators, and semimetals are constrained by fundamental limitations in terms of their thermoelectric performance. Topological materials offer certain features that allow them to circumvent these constraints, and…
