Dirac point degenerate with massive bands at a topological quantum critical point.
The quasilinear bands in the topologically trivial skutterudite insulator CoSb(3) are studied under adiabatic, symmetry-conserving displacement of the Sb sublattice. In this cubic, time-reversal and inversion symmetric system, a transition from trivial insulator to topological point Fermi surface system occurs through a critical point in which massless (Dirac) bands appear, and moreover are deg...

متن کاملMassless quantum electrodynamics with a critical point
Recently, it has been observed that a quantum field theory need not be Hermitian to have a real, positive spectrum. What seems to be required is symmetry under combined parity and time-reversal transformations. This idea is extended to massless electrodynamics, in which the photon couples to the axial-vector current with an imaginary coupling constant. The eigenvalue condition necessary for the...
