摘要:

狄拉克和外尔物理在固体中的实现使拓扑材料成为凝聚态物理的主要研究热点之一。最近,拓扑节线半金属(topological nodular line semimetals)成为拓扑量子物质研究的一个热点。在拓扑节线半金属中,沿着动量空间中的特殊线的Dirac或Weyl类交叉产生了一个封闭的环或简并线,而不是离散的点。在这里,我们回顾了实验证实和理论预测的拓扑节线半金属,特别侧重于在各种材料中的节线的对称性保护机制。三种不同的机制:讨论了反演和时间反演对称性、镜像反射对称性和非对称对称性的组合,以及它们在自旋轨道耦合作用下的鲁棒性。我们还提出了一种新的外尔节线材料,Te平方网化合物KCu $_2$ EuTe $_4$,它有几个外尔节线,包括一个非常接近费米能级($<$ 30 meV低于E $_F$)。最后,我们讨论了潜在的实验签名观察奇异属性的节线物理。

英文摘要:

The realization of Dirac and Weyl physics in solids has made topological materials one of the main focuses of condensed matter physics. Recently, the topic of topological nodal line semimetals, materials in which Dirac or Weyl-like crossings along special lines in momentum space create either a closed ring or line of degeneracies, rather than discrete points, has become a hot topic in topological quantum matter. Here we review the experimentally confirmed and theoretically predicted topological nodal line semimetals, focusing in particular on the symmetry protection mechanisms of the nodal lines in various materials. Three different mechanisms: a combination of inversion and time-reversal symmetry, mirror reflection symmetry, and non-symmorphic symmetry, and their robustness under the effect of spin orbit coupling are discussed. We also present a new Weyl nodal line material, the Te-square net compound KCu$_2$EuTe$_4$, which has several Weyl nodal lines including one extremely close to the Fermi level ($<$30 meV below E$_F$). Finally, we discuss potential experimental signatures for observing exotic properties of nodal line physics.
