摘要:

Weyl节点可分为零维Weyl点、一维Weyl节点线和二维Weyl节点面。迄今为止,在Weyl半金属中发现的WPs的最大Chern数为4,这被认为是固体中线性交叉点的最大值。另一方面,非零维线性相交Weyl结点物体的Chern数是否有一个上限仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。在这项工作中,结合角分辨光电子能谱与密度泛函理论计算,我们表明,手性晶体AlPt主机的立方体形状的带电Weyl节面,这是由两个单简并带的线性交叉形成的。与传统的Weyl节点不同,AlPt的立方体形状的节点表面是由非对称的手征对称性和时间反演对称性,而不是偶然的带交叉,它具有一个巨大的陈数|C| = 26。此外,我们的结果和分析证明,这类二维Weyl节点物体的Chern数没有上限。

英文摘要:

Weyl nodes can be classified into zero-dimensional (0D) Weyl points (WPs), 1D Weyl nodal lines (WNL) and 2D Weyl nodal surfaces (WNS), which possess finite Chern numbers. Up to date, the largest Chern number of WPs identified in Weyl semimetals is 4, which is thought to be a maximal value for linearly crossing points in solids. On the other hand, whether the Chern numbers of nonzero-dimensional linear crossing Weyl nodal objects have one upper limit is still an open question. In this work, combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with density functional theory calculations, we show that the chiral crystal AlPt hosts a cube-shaped charged Weyl nodal surface which is formed by the linear crossings of two singly-degenerate bands. Different to conventional Weyl nodes, the cube-shaped nodal surface in AlPt is enforced by nonsymmorphic chiral symmetries and time reversal symmetry rather than accidental band crossings, and it possesses a giant Chern number |C| = 26. Moreover, our results and analysis prove that there is no upper limit for the Chern numbers of such kind 2D Weyl nodal object.
