Abstract:
Three-dimensional (3D) topological semimetals represent a new class of topological matters. The study of this family of materials has been at the frontiers of condensed matter physics, and many breakthroughs have been made. Several topological semimetal phases, including Dirac semimetals (DSMs), Weyl semimetals (WSMs), nodal-line semimetals (NLSMs), and triple-point semimetals, have been theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated. The low-energy excitation around the Dirac/Weyl nodal points, nodal line, or triply degenerated nodal point can be viewed as emergent relativistic fermi

Recognized as elementary particles in the standard model, Weyl fermions in condensed matter have received growing attention. However, most of the previously reported Weyl semimetals exhibit rather complicated electronic structures that, in turn, may have raised questions regarding the underlying physics. Here, we report promising topological phases that can be realized in specific honeycomb lattices, including ideal Weyl semimetal structures, 3D strong topological insulators, and nodal-line semimetal configurations.

Abstract:
We theoretically study the electric polarization in magnetic topological nodal semimetal thin films. In magnetically doped topological insulators, topological nodal semimetal phases emerge once the exchange coupling overcomes the band gap. Changing the magnetization direction, nodal structure is modulated and the system becomes topological nodal point or line semimetals. We find that nodal line semimetals are characterized by non-linear electric polarization, which is not observed in nodal point semimetals. The non-linear response originates from the existence of the surface states. Screening

We review recent theoretical progress in the understanding and prediction of novel topological semimetals. Topological semimetals define a class of gapless electronic phases exhibiting topologically stable crossings of energy bands. Different types of topological semimetals can be distinguished on the basis of the degeneracy of the band crossings, their codimension (e.g., point or line nodes), and the crystal space group symmetries on which the protection of stable band crossings relies. The dispersion near the band crossing is a further discriminating characteristic. These properties give ris

Weyl semimetals are of great interest because they provide the first realization of the Weyl fermion, exhibit exotic quantum anomalies, and host Fermi arc surface states. The separation between Weyl nodes of opposite chirality gives a measure of the robustness of the Weyl semimetal state. To exploit the novel phenomena that arise from Weyl fermions in applications, it is crucially important to find robust separated Weyl nodes. We propose a methodology to design robust Weyl semimetals with well-separated Weyl nodes. Using this methodology as a guideline, we search among the material parameter s

In this review, basic concepts of Heusler compounds and main properties of three TSMs are first reviewed, followed by analysis of topological semimetal states in Heusler compounds. In the end, the most suitable TSM state in Heusler compound is given.

Abstract:
The subject of topological materials has attracted immense attention in condensed-matter physics because they host new quantum states of matter containing Dirac, Majorana, or Weyl fermions. Although Majorana fermions can only exist on the surface of topological superconductors, Dirac and Weyl fermions can be realized in both 2D and 3D materials. The latter are semimetals with Dirac/Weyl cones either not tilted (type I) or tilted (type II). Although both Dirac and Weyl fermions have massless nature with the nontrivial Berry phase, the formation of Weyl fermions in 3D semimetals require either t

Dirac semimetals are promising materials for broadband and fast photodetection due to their gapless nature. Dirac heterostructures consisting of 2D Dirac semimetal graphene and its 3D analogue Cd3As2 should take the ascendency of high carrier mobility in both materials, while overcome the limitation of weak optical absorption in graphene-based devices and suppress the dark current occurring in pure Cd3As2 photodetectors. Herein, we report high-performance photodetectors based on a 3D Dirac semimetal Cd3As2/monolayer graphene heterostructure, which show broadband photoresponse from visible (488

The paper considers the possibility of changing the energy spectrum of the electronic subsystem of semimetals from a non-degenerate to a degenerate state under the action of an external electric field. This “metallization” of semimetals is achieved by increasing the concentration of free electrons in the external field. The work also considers the possible transition of “metallized” semimetals to the superconducting state. The evaluations made show that for the size of the sample R ≤ 100 nm and for the magnitude of the field source voltage U ≈ 10 V, “metallized” semimetals and their solid solu

Abstract Topological Dirac semimetals are a parent state from which other exotic topological phases of matter, such as Weyl semimetals and topological insulators, can emerge. In this study, we investigate a Dirac semimetal possessing sixfold rotational symmetry and hosting higher-order topological hinge Fermi arc states, which is irradiated by circularly polarized light. Our findings reveal that circularly polarized light splits each Dirac node into a pair of Weyl nodes due to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry, resulting in the realization of the Weyl semimetal phase.

Abstract We study the black hole interiors in holographic Weyl semimetals and holographic nodal line semimetals. We find that the black hole singularities are of Kasner form. In the topologically nontrivial phase at low temperature, both the Kasner exponents of the metric fields and the proper time from the horizon to the singularity are almost constant, likely reflecting the topological nature of the topological semimetals. We also find some specific behaviors inside the horizon in each holographic semimetal model.

Recently it has been discovered that all chiral crystals host Weyl points at time reversal invariant momenta, so metals with chiral lattice symmetry all belong to the category of Kramers Weyl semimetals. In this work, we show that due to the chiral lattice symmetry, Kramers Weyl semimetals have the unique longitudinal magnetoelectric effect in which the charge current induced spin and orbital magnetization is parallel to the direction of the current.

For bulk interface structures, we find that metal/topological semimetal interfaces have roughly 20× higher interfacial resistivity than normal metal/metal interfaces primarily due to the low electronic density of states, the Fermi level in bulk topological semimetals.

Significance An ideal Weyl semimetal with high tunability is an undoubtedly important platform for realizing and manipulating exotic quantum properties of topological semimetals.

In this work, we report with a topological phase transition diagram the successful realization of a Weyl semimetal phase by chemically engineering the PbTe-SnTe alloy.

We find that the surface plasmon polariton dispersion of this system is nonreciprocal even in the absence of the external magnetic field. Moreover, we demonstrate that the tilt parameter has a profound effect in controlling this nonreciprocity. We reveal that the thin film of type-II We
