摘要

Nowadays topological phase of matter has been successfully realized in both insulators and metals. Topological semimetals (TSMs), characterized by Weyl/Dirac nodes closely enough to Fermi level in bulk and Fermi arcs connecting their projections on surface, are one part of the great family of topological phases. The low energy excitation in Dirac/Weylsemimetal is described well by the Dirac/Weyl equation for the massless Dirac/Weyl fermions. The Weyl fermion hascertain chirality and has not been discovered since Hermann Weyl proposed it in 1929. Recent discoveries of Dirac and Weyl semimetals lead to a hot pursue of various quasiparticles in solids with or without their counterparts in high-energy particle physics. The unconventional topological semimetals harboring “new fermions” beyond Dirac and Weyl fermions in “material universe” include the Node-Line semimetal, type-II Weyl/Dirac semimetal and multiple-degenerate nodal points semimetal. In this talk, I will introduce our predictions of the realistic materials to hostthem and their relationship to each other in the expanding topological semimetal family.
