Multiple types of unconventional quasiparticles in the chiral crystal CsBe${}_2$F${}_5$

Abstract

Unconventional topological quasiparticles have recently garnered significant attention in the realm of condensed matter physics. Here, based on first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis, we reveal the coexistence of multiple types of interesting unconventional topological quasiparticles in the phonon spectrum of the chiral crystal CsBe${}_2$F${}_5$. Specifically, we identified eight entangled phonon bands in CsBe${}_2$F${}_5$, which give rise to various unconventional topological quasiparticles, including the spin-1 Weyl point, the charge-2 Dirac point, the nodal surface, and the hourglass nodal loop. We demonstrate that these unconventional topological quasiparticles are protected by crystal symmetry. We show that there are two large Fermi arcs connecting projections of the bulk spin-1 Weyl point and charge-2 Dirac point on the (001) surface and across the entire surface Brillouin zone. Our work not only elucidates the intriguing topological properties of chiral crystals but also provides an excellent material platform for exploring the fascinating physics associated with multiple types of unconventional topological quasiparticles.
