三维非对称沙漏半金属

Hourglass semimetals with nonsymmorphic symmetries in three dimensions

Luyang Wang, Shao-Kai Jian, Hong Yao

摘要:

最近的研究表明,非对称空间群对称性可以保护新的表面态与沙漏状分散体。在本文中,我们表明,这种分散体也可以出现在大部分的三维(3D)系统尊重非对称对称性。具体而言,我们构建了具有沙漏状分散体的3D晶格模型,这些模型受到非对称性和时间反演对称性的保护。我们称这样的系统为沙漏半金属,因为它们具有与沙漏状分散相关联的点或线节点。沙漏节线出现在滑动不变的平面,而沙漏外尔点可以出现在螺旋不变的轴。沙漏型Weyl半金属中的Weyl点和表面费米弧对打破这些非对称对称性的弱扰动是稳定的。我们的结果可能有助于在非对称材料中寻找奇异的外尔半金属。

英文摘要:

It was recently shown that nonsymmorphic space group symmetries can protect novel surface states with hourglass-like dispersions. In this paper, we show that such dispersions can also appear in the bulk of three-dimensional (3D) systems which respect nonsymmorphic symmetries. Specifically, we construct 3D lattice models featuring hourglass-like dispersions in the bulk, which are protected by nonsymmorphic and time-reversal symmetries. We call such systems hourglass semimetals, as they have point or line nodes associated with hourglass-like dispersions. Hourglass nodal lines appear in glide-invariant planes, while hourglass Weyl points can occur on screw-invariant axes. The Weyl points and surface Fermi arcs in hourglass Weyl semimetals are stable against weak perturbations breaking those nonsymmorphic symmetries. Our results may shed light on searching for exotic Weyl semimetals in nonsymmorphic materials.
