Ideal type-II Weyl phonons in wurtzite CuI

Abstract

Weyl semimetals exhibitinging the topologically nontrivial touching points in electronic band dispersion of solids pave the wave way to novel electronic devices and functionalities. Here, we demonstrate the signature of topologically nontrivial Weyl points (WPs) in phonon dispersion of solids through a first-principles investigations. ofT noncentrosymmetric wurtzite CuI (cuprous iodide at high temperature). These type-II phononic WP in phonon dispersion of wurtzite CuI is manifested in noncentrosymmetric wurtzite CuI by six pairs of the nontrivial touching points in the k_z=0.0 plane. The ideal WPs in phonon dispersion are completely isolated from bulk phonon continuum, are different distinct from many type-II WPs in electronic band dispersion of solids associated with the overlapping band states. The opposite chirality of Weyl phonon nodes with quantized Berry curvature are utilized forproduces Weyl phonon Hall effect, in analogous analogy towith valley Hall effect of electrons. Such ideal type-II Weyl phonons are phase is readily observable in experiment, and could provideing a unique platform to study novel thermal transport properties different distinct from that in type-I Weyl phonons phase.
