摘要:

拓扑半金属中带交叉的明显过度倾斜产生了Dirac/Weyl和非线性线费米子的I型和II型分类,伴随着奇异的电子和磁性输运性质。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个概念的混合链半金属,这是确定的连接型I和型II节环的布里渊区。基于第一性原理计算和群体智能结构搜索技术,提出了一种新的三元氮化物MgCaN 2晶体,作为实现新型三维混合晶链态的第一候选晶体.值得注意的是,一个平坦的带是涌现的,作为这样一个混合的半金属链沿一定方向在动量空间中的特征签名,从而服务于一个平台,探索拓扑半金属态和平坦带之间的相互作用。此外,通过计算镜像Z2不变量和建立k.p有效哈密顿量,揭示了混合链的潜在保护机制。此外,相当多的鼓面状的表面状态与独特的连接模式示出,以确定非平凡的带拓扑结构,这可能是由未来的实验测量。

英文摘要:

The distinct over-tilting of band crossings in topological semimetal generates the type-I and typeII classification of Dirac/Weyl and nodal-line fermions, accompanied by the exotic electronic and magnetic transport properties. In this work, we propose a concept of hybrid nodal-chain semimetal, which is identified by the linked type-I and type-II nodal rings in the Brillouin zone. Based on first-principles calculations and swarm-intelligence structure search technique, a new ternary nitride MgCaN2 crystal is proposed as the first candidate to realize a novel 3D hybrid nodal-chain state. Remarkably, a flat band is emergent as a characteristic signature of such a hybrid nodal-chain along certain direction in the momentum space, thereby serving a platform to explore the interplay between topological semimetal state and flat band. Moreover, the underlying protection mechanism of the hybrid nodal-chain is revealed by calculating the mirror Z2 invariant and developing a k.p effective Hamiltonian. Additionally, considerable drumhead-like surface states with unique connection patterns are illustrated to identify the non-trivial band topology, which may be measured by future experiments.
