Using both an effective three-band model and {it ab initio} calculations, we have investigated various topological features in the cubic ferromagnetic $5d^{1,2}$ systems showing large spin-orbit coupling (SOC): Ba$_2$NaOsO$_6$, Sr$_2$SrOsO$_6$, and Ba$_2$$B$ReO$_6$ ($B$= Mg, Zn). In the presence of time-reversal symmetry (${cal T}$), spinless Dirac nodal loops linked to each other at the $W$ points appear in the mirror planes. Remarkably, breaking ${cal T}$ leads to spinful magnetic Weyl nodal loops (MWNLs) that are robust even at large SOC and correlation strength $U$ variation due to the combination of mirror symmetry and broken ${cal T}$. Additionally, there are two types of magnetic Weyl points with chiral charges $|chi|=1, 2$ along the $C_{4v}$ symmetry line, and another type-II MWNL encircling the zone center, that are dependent on $U$. Furthermore, the ferromagnetic Ba$_2$ZnReO$_6$ is an ideal half semimetal with MWNLs and magnetic Weyl nodes at the Fermi level without the interference of topologically trivial bulk states. These systems give rise to a remarkably large anomalous Hall conductivity $sigma_{xy}$ of up to 1160 ($Omega$cm)$^{-1}$. Our findings may apply widely for $t_{2g}$ systems with cubic (or slightly distorted) fcc-like structures.

The observation of quantized anomalous Hall conductance in the forced ferromagnetic state of MnBi2Te4 thin flakes has attracted much attentions. However, strong magnetic field is needed to fully polarize the magnetic moments due to the large antiferr
omagnetic interlayer exchange coupling. Here, we reported the magnetic and electrical transport properties of the magnetic van der Waals MnBi2Te4(Bi2Te3)n (n=1,2) single crystals, in which the interlayer antiferromagnetic exchange coupling is greatly suppressed with the increase of the separation layers Bi2Te3. MnBi4Te7 and MnBi6Te10 show weak antiferromagnetic transition at 12.3 and 10.5 K, respectively. The ferromagnetic hysteresis was observed at low temperature for both of the crystals, which is quite crucial for realizing the quantum anomalous Hall effect without external magnetic field. Our work indicates that MnBi2Te4(Bi2Te3)n (n=1,2) provide ideal platforms to investigate the rich topological phases with going to their 2D limits.
Using first--principles density functional calculations, we systematically investigate electronic structures and topological properties of InNbX2 (X=S, Se). In the absence of spin--orbit coupling (SOC), both compounds show nodal lines protected by mi
rror symmetry. Including SOC, the Dirac rings in InNbS2 split into two Weyl rings. This unique property is distinguished from other dicovered nodal line materials which normally requires the absence of SOC. On the other hand, SOC breaks the nodal lines in InNbSe2 and the compound becomes a type II Weyl semimetal with 12 Weyl points in the Brillouin Zone. Using a supercell slab calculation we study the dispersion of Fermi arcs surface states in InNbSe2, we also utilize a coherent potential approximation to probe their tolernace to the surface disorder effects. The quasi two--dimensionality and the absence of toxic elements makes these two compounds an ideal experimental platform for investigating novel properties of topological semimetals.
In 1929, H. Weyl proposed that the massless solution of Dirac equation represents a pair of new type particles, the so-called Weyl fermions [1]. However the existence of them in particle physics remains elusive for more than eight decades. Recently,
significant advances in both topological insulators and topological semimetals have provided an alternative way to realize Weyl fermions in condensed matter as an emergent phenomenon: when two non-degenerate bands in the three-dimensional momentum space cross in the vicinity of Fermi energy (called as Weyl nodes), the low energy excitation behaves exactly the same as Weyl fermions. Here, by performing soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements which mainly probe bulk band structure, we directly observe the long-sought-after Weyl nodes for the first time in TaAs, whose projected locations on the (001) surface match well to the Fermi arcs, providing undisputable experimental evidence of existence of Weyl fermion quasiparticles in TaAs.
The effect of short-range disorder in nodal line semimetals is studied by numerically exact means. For arbitrary small disorder, a novel semimetallic phase is unveiled for which the momentum-space amplitude of the ground-state wave function is concen
trated around the nodal line and follows a multifractal distribution. At a critical disorder strength, a semimetal to compressible metal transition occurs, coinciding with a multi- to single-fractality transition. The universality class of this critical point is characterized by the correlation length and dynamical exponents. At considerably higher disorder, an Anderson metal-insulator transition takes place. Our results show that the nature of the semimetallic phase in non-clean samples is fundamentally different from a clean nodal semimetal.
Nonsymmoprhic symmetries, such as screw rotations or glide reflections, can enforce band crossings within high-symmetry lines or planes of the Brillouin zone. When these band degeneracies are close to the Fermi energy, they can give rise to a number
of unusual phenomena: e.g., anomalous magnetoelectric responses, transverse Hall currents, and exotic surface states. In this paper, we present a comprehensive classification of such nonsymmorphic band crossings in trigonal materials with strong spin-orbit coupling. We find that in trigonal systems there are two different types of nonsymmorphic band degeneracies: (i) Weyl points protected by screw rotations with an accordion-like dispersion, and (ii) Weyl nodal lines protected by glide reflections. We report a number of existing materials, where these band crossings are realized near the Fermi energy. This includes Cu2SrSnS4 and elemental tellurium (Te), which exhibit accordion Weyl points; and the tellurium-silicon clathrate Te16Si38, which shows Weyl nodal lines. The ab-initio band structures and surface states of these materials are studied in detail, and implications for experiments are briefly discussed.
