报告摘要:
In a 3D solid, the low energy excitation of the non-degenerate linearly dispersive band crossing exactly satisfies the Weyl equation. Such band crossing is named Weyl node (WN), and such solid is known as the Weyl semimetal (WSM), which should exhibit remarkable features, such as magnetic monopoles, Fermi arcs and Weyl anomaly. Here I report that fruitful topological phases can be realized in a specific honeycomb lattice, including the ideal WSM, unstable double-Weyl semimetal, 3D strong topological insulator, nodal line semimetal, and a novel semimetal consisting of both WNs and nodal-lines. Guiding by this model, we demonstrate that GdSI is the long-pursuing ideal WSM with two pairs of WNs residing at the Fermi level. Furthermore, I'd like to introduce the other stable double-Weyl semimetal, HgCr2Se, which has a single pair of double-Weyl fermions separated in momentum space. Quantum anomalous Hall Effect can be achieved in its quantum-well structure.
