Abstract Topological Weyl semimetal (TWS), a new state of quantum matter, has sparked enormous research interest recently. Possessing unique fermions in the bulk and Fermi arcs on surface, TWSs offer rare platform for realizing many exotic physical phenomena. can be classified into type-I that respect Lorentz symmetry type-II do not. Here, we directly visualize electronic structure MoTe 2 , recently proposed TWS. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), unravel surface arcs,...
Kondo insulators (KIs) are strongly correlated materials in which the interactions between 4f and conduction electrons lead to a hybridization gap opening at low temperature 1-2. SmB6 is typical KI, but its resistivity does not diverge temperatures, was attributed some in-gap states 3-10. However after several decades of research, nature origin remain unclear. Recent band calculation transport measurements suggest that could actually be ascribed topological surface states. thus might first...
We report the detailed electronic structure of WTe$_2$ by high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Unlike simple one electron plus hole pocket type Fermi surface topology reported before, we resolved a rather complicated WTe$_2$. Specifically, there are totally nine pockets, including at Brillouin zone center $\Gamma$, and two pockets on each side $\Gamma$ along $\Gamma$-$X$ direction. Remarkably, have observed circular dichroism in our spectra, which suggests that orbital...
A new layered oxide semiconductor (Bi 2 O Se) is found with excellent electronic properties for promising applications.
Here we report the evidence of type II Dirac Fermion in layered crystal PdTe2. The de Haas-van Alphen oscillations find a small Fermi pocket with cross section 0.077nm-2 nontrivial Berry phase. First-principal calculations reveal that it is originated from hole tilted cone. Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy demonstrates cone featured dispersion. We also suggest PdTe2 an improved platform to host topological superconductors.
Weyl semimetals exhibit exceptional quantum electronic transport due to the presence of topologically-protected band crossings called nodes. The nodes come in pairs with opposite chirality, but their number and location momentum space is otherwise material specific. Following initial discoveries there now a need for better realizations, ideally comprising single pair located at or very close Fermi level an energy window free from other overlapping bands. Here we propose layered intermetallic...
Topological Dirac semimetals (TDSs) represent a new state of quantum matter recently discovered that offers platform for realizing many exotic physical phenomena. A TDS is characterized by the linear touching bulk (conduction and valance) bands at discrete points in momentum space (i.e. 3D points), such as Na3Bi Cd3As2. More recently, types with robust line-nodes (with non-trivial topology or near critical point between topological phase transitions) have been proposed extends from to 1D...
While the parent compounds of cuprate high temperature superconductors (high-Tc's) are Mott insulators, iron-pnictide high-Tc's in vicinity a metallic spin density wave (SDW) state, which highlights difference between these two families. However, insulating were identified for newly discovered KxFe2-ySe2. This raises an intriguing question as to whether iron-based could be viewed doped insulators like cuprates. Here we report angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) evidence and one...

An extreme magnetoresistance (XMR) has recently been observed in several nonmagnetic semimetals. Increasing experimental and theoretical evidence indicates that the XMR can be driven by either topological protection or electron-hole compensation. Here, investigating electronic structure of a material, YSb, we present spectroscopic for special case which lacks perfect Further investigations reveal cooperative action substantial difference between electron hole mobility moderate carrier...
Electrons and holes can spontaneously form excitons condense in a semimetal or semiconductor, as predicted decades ago. This type of Bose condensation happen at much higher temperatures comparison with dilute atomic gases. Two-dimensional (2D) materials reduced Coulomb screening around the Fermi level are promising for realizing such system. Here we report change band structure accompanied by phase transition about 180 K single-layer ZrTe2 based on angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy...
