Weyl semimetal in a topological insulator multilayer.
We propose a simple realization of the three-dimensional (3D) Weyl semimetal phase, utilizing a multilayer structure, composed of identical thin films of a magnetically doped 3D topological insulator, separated by ordinary-insulator spacer layers. We show that the phase diagram of this system contains a Weyl semimetal phase of the simplest possible kind, with only two Dirac nodes of opposite ch...
متن کاملDisordered Weyl Semimetals and Their Topological Family.
We develop a topological theory for disordered Weyl semimetals in the framework of the gauge invariance of the replica formalism and boundary-bulk correspondence of Chern insulators. An anisotropic topological θ term is analytically derived for the effective nonlinear σ model. It is this nontrivial topological term that ensures that the bulk transverse transport of Weyl semimetals is robust aga...
متن کاملTopological Crystalline Insulator in a New Bi Semiconducting Phase
Topological crystalline insulators are a type of topological insulators whose topological surface states are protected by a crystal symmetry, thus the surface gap can be tuned by applying strain or an electric field. In this paper we predict by means of ab initio calculations a new phase of Bi which is a topological crystalline insulator characterized by a mirror Chern number nM = -2, but not a...

متن کاملTopological crystalline Kondo insulator in mixed valence ytterbium borides.
The electronic structures of two mixed valence insulators YbB6 and YbB12 are studied by using the local density approximation supplemented with the Gutzwiller method and dynamic mean field theory. YbB6 is found to be a moderately correlated Z2 topological insulator, similar to SmB6 but having much larger bulk band gap. Notably, YbB12 is revealed to be in a new novel quantum state, strongly corr...
