Abstract:

The unique properties of topological metal/semimetals (TMs) have strongly driven efforts to seek for new topological phases and related materials. In contrast to the topological materials based on heavy elements, we proposed some topological materials consisting of light elements such as carbon and boron atoms. The light-element materials exhibit rich topological phases[1-7], such as Dirac/Weyl points, nodal lines/rings/chains, triple points, nexus points, nodal networks, nodal surfaces/sphere/tube. In these structures, the topological properties can be clearly clarified by orbital physics. In addition, we also identify that various topological phases can also be obtained by stacking layered two-dimensional nanosheets.
