We consider the effect of the Coulomb interaction in a nonsymmorphic Dirac semimetal, leading to collective charge oscillation modes (plasmons), focusing on the model originally predicted by Young and Kane [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 126803 (2015)]. We model the system in a two-dimensional square-lattice and evaluate the density-density correlation function within the random-phase approximation (RPA) in presence of the Coulomb interaction. The non-interacting band-structure consists of three band-touching points, near which the electronic states follow Dirac equations. Two of these Dirac nodes, at the momentum points $X_1$ and $X_2$ are anisotropic, i.e, disperses with different velocities in different directions, whereas the third Dirac point at $M$ is isotropic. Interestingly we find that, the system of these three Dirac nodes hold a single low-energy plasmon mode, within its particle-hole gap, that disperses in isotropic manner, in the case when the nodes at $X_1$ and $X_2$ are related by symmetry. We also show this analytically using a long-wavelength approximation. We discuss effects of perturbations that can give rise to anisotropic plasmon dispersions and comment on possible experimental observation of our prediction.
Two-dimensional Dirac semimetals have attracted much attention because of their linear energy dispersion and non-trivial Berry phase. Graphene-like 2D Dirac materials are gapless only within certain approximations, e.g., if spin-orbit coupling (SOC)
We show that for two-band systems nonsymmorphic symmetries may enforce the existence of band crossings in the bulk, which realize Fermi surfaces of reduced dimensionality. We find that these unavoidable crossings originate from the momentum dependenc
Surface plasmon polaritons in a strained slab of a Weyl semimetal with broken time-reversal symmetry are investigated. It is found that the strain-induced axial gauge field reduces frequencies of these collective modes for intermediate values of the
An exotic anomalous plasmon mode is found in strained Weyl semimetals utilizing the topological Landau Fermi liquid and chiral kinetic theories, in which quasiparticle interactions are modeled by long-range Coulomb and residual short-range interactio
Recent developments in the relationship between bulk topology and surface crystal symmetry have led to the discovery of materials whose gapless surface states are protected by crystal symmetries. In fact, there exists only a very limited set of possi
