Large Fermi-arc and robust Weyl semimetal phase in AgS
arXiv:1809.03129 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.205117
Abstract
Three-dimensional Dirac and Weyl semimetals have attracted widespread interest in condensed matter physics and material science. Here, based on first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis, we report that AgS with P222 symmetry is a topological Dirac semimetal in the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Every Dirac points are composed of two Weyl points with the same chirality overlapping in the momentum space. After taking the SOC into consideration, each Dirac point is split into two Weyl points. The Weyl points with the opposite chirality are far from each other in the momentum space. Therefore, the Weyl pairs are not easy to annihilate and robust in the AgS compound, which also lead to long Fermi-arcs on material surface. The robustness of the Weyl points against the strain is discussed.
