Filling-enforced Magnetic Dirac Semimetals in Two Dimensions

Abstract

Filling-enforced Dirac semimetals, or those required at specific fillings by the combination of crystalline and time-reversal symmetries, have been proposed and discovered in numerous materials. However, Dirac points in these materials are not generally robust against breaking or modifying time-reversal symmetry. We present a new class of two-dimensional Dirac semimetal protected by the combination of crystal symmetries and a special, antiferromagnetic time-reversal symmetry. Systems in this class of magnetic layer groups, while having broken time-reversal symmetry, still respect the operation of time-reversal followed by a half-lattice translation. In contrast to 2D time-reversal-symmetric Dirac semimetal phases, this magnetic Dirac phase is capable of hosting just a single isolated Dirac point at the Fermi level, and that Dirac point can be stabilized solely by symmorphic crystal symmetries. We find that this Dirac point represents a new quantum critical point, and lives at the boundary between Chern insulating, antiferromagnetic topological crystalline insulating, and trivial insulating phases. We present density functional theoretic calculations which demonstrate the presence of this 2D magnetic Dirac semimetallic phase in FeSe monolayers and discuss the implications for engineering quantum phase transitions in these materials.
