with nodal lines carrying Z 2 monopole charges, which can be realized in three-dimensional …

Nodal-link semimetals

Z Yan, R Bi, H Shen, L Lu, SC Zhang, Z Wang - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
In topological semimetals, the valance band and conduction band meet at zero-dimensional
nodal points or one-dimensional nodal rings, which are protected by band topology and …

Non-Hermitian nodal-line semimetals with an anomalous bulk-boundary correspondence

H Wang, J Ruan, H Zhang - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS

Robust doubly charged nodal lines and nodal surfaces in centrosymmetric systems

T Bzdušek, M Sigrist - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
Weyl points in three spatial dimensions are characterized by a Z-valued charge—the Chern
number—which makes them stable against a wide range of perturbations. A set of Weyl …

Nodal-knot semimetals

R Bi, Z Yan, L Lu, Z Wang - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
Topological nodal-line semimetals are characterized by one-dimensional lines of band
crossing in the Brillouin zone. In contrast to nodal points, nodal lines can be in topologically …

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 …
