Abstract
Since the discovery of the first topological material 15 years ago, the search for material realizations of novel topological phases has become the driving force of the field. While oftentimes we search for new materials, we forget that well established materials can also display very interesting topological properties. In this work, we revisit CoS , a metallic ferromagnetic pyrite that has been extensively studied in the literature due to its magnetic properties. We study the topological features of its electronic band structure and identify Weyl nodes and Nodal lines, as well as a symmetry-protected 4-fold fermion close to the Fermi level. Looking at different surface cleavage planes, we observe both spin polarized Fermi arcs in the majority channel and drumhead states. These findings suggest that CoS is a promising platform to study topological phenomena, as well as a good candidate for spintronic applications.
