Symmorphic intersecting nodal rings in semiconducting layers
arXiv:1710.05414 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.106403
Abstract
The unique properties of topological semimetals have strongly driven efforts to seek for new topological phases and related materials. Here, we identify a critical condition for the existence of linked nodal rings (LNRs) in symmorphic crystals, and propose that three types of LNRs, named as alpha-, beta- and gamma-type, can be obtained by stacking semiconducting layers. Several honeycomb structures are suggested to be topological LNR semimetals, including layered and "hidden" layered structures. Transitions between the three types of LNRs can be driven by external strains. Interesting surface states other than drumhead states are found in these topological materials.
