Three-dimensional Critical Dirac semimetal in KMgBi

Abstract

We predicted that AMgBi (A=K,Rb Cs), which have the same lattice structures as the 111 family of iron-based superconductors (Na/LiFeAs), are symmetry-protected Dirac semimetals located near the boundary of type-I and type-II Dirac semimetal phases. Doping Rb or Cs into KMgBi can drive the transition between the two phases. The materials can also be turned into Weyl semimetals and topological insulators by explicitly or spontaneously breaking time-reversal symmetry and C${}_4$ lattice symmetry respectively.
