Topological semimetals carrying arbitrary Hopf numbers: Fermi surface topologies of a Hopf link, Solomon's knot, trefoil knot, and other linked nodal varieties
M Ezawa - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We propose a type of Hopf semimetal indexed by a pair of numbers (p, q), where the Hopf
number is given by pq. The Fermi surface is given by a preimage of the Hopf map, which …
