Discovery of topological nodal-line fermionic phase in a magnetic material GdSbTe

Abstract Topological Dirac semimetals with accidental band touching between conduction and valence bands protected by time reversal and inversion symmetry are at the frontier of modern condensed matter research. A majority of discovered topological semimetals are nonmagnetic and conserve time revers...

description Abstract Topological Dirac semimetals with accidental band touching between conduction and valence bands protected by time reversal and inversion symmetry are at the frontier of modern condensed matter research. A majority of discovered topological semimetals are nonmagnetic and conserve time reversal symmetry.

Our systematic study reveals the detailed electronic structure of the paramagnetic state of antiferromagnetic GdSbTe.
