Signature of an Ultrafast Photo-Induced Lifshitz Transition in the Nodal-Line Semimetal ZrSiTe

Robert J. Kirby, Lukas Muechler, Sebastian Klemenz +6

Here we report an ultrafast optical spectroscopic study of the nodal-line semimetal ZrSiTe. Our measurements reveal that, converse to other compounds of the family, the sudden inje…

Landau Quantization and Highly Mobile Fermions in an Insulator

Pengjie Wang, Guo Yu, Yanyu Jia +9

In strongly correlated materials, quasiparticle excitations can carry fractional quantum numbers. An intriguing possibility is the formation of fractionalized, charge-neutral fermi…

Weyl-fermions, Fermi-arcs, and minority-spin carriers in ferromagnetic CoS2

Niels B. M. Schröter, Iñigo Robredo, Sebastian Klemenz +15

The pyrite compound CoS2 has been intensively studied in the past due to its itinerant ferromagnetism and potential for half-metallicity, which make it a promising material for spi…

Transient Drude Response Dominates Near-Infrared Pump-Probe Reflectivity in Nodal-Line Semimetals ZrSiS and ZrSiSe

Robert J. Kirby, Austin Ferrenti, Caroline Weinberg +6

The ultrafast optical response of two nodal-line semimetals, ZrSiS and ZrSiSe, was studied in the near-infrared using transient reflectivity. The two materials exhibit similar resp…

The role of delocalized chemical bonding in square-net-based topological semimetals

Sebastian Klemenz, Aurland K. Hay, Samuel M. L. Teicher +3

Principles that predict reactions or properties of materials define the discipline of chemistry. In this work we derive chemical rules, based on atomic distances and chemical bond…

A systematic study of stacked square nets: from Dirac fermions to material realizations

Sebastian Klemenz, Leslie Schoop, Jennifer Cano

Non-symmorphic symmetries protect Dirac line nodes in square net materials. This phenomenon has been most prominently observed in ZrSiS. Here, we systematically study the symmetry-…
