Type-I and type-II Nodal Lines Coexistence in the Antiferromagnetic monolayer CrAs${}_2$

Abstract

Topological nodal line semimetals, hosting one-dimensional Fermi lines with symmetry protection, has become a hot topic in topological quantum matter. Due to the breaking of time reversal symmetry in magnetic system, nodal lines require protection by additional symmetries. Here, we report the discovery of antiferromagnetic type-I and type-II nodal lines coexist in the monolayer CrAs${}_2$ based on a systematic first-principles calculation. Remarkably, the type-I nodal line in CrAs${}_2$ form a concentric loop centered around the $\Gamma$ point is filling-enforced by nonsymmorphic analogue symmetry and robust against spin-orbital coupling. The type-II nodal lines, a kind of open nodal lines appear around the Fermi level, are protected by the mirror symmetry in the absence of spin-orbital coupling. The antiferromagnetic monolayer CrAs${}_2$ proposed here may provide a platform for the correlation between magnetism and exotic topological phases.
