Speech Title:
Material realization of topological semimetals without and with spin-polarization
Abstract:
Topological electronic materials have become the research focus in condensed matter physics and materials science since the discovery of topological insulators. Recently, more types of topological materials have been proposed such as Weyl semimetals, Dirac semimetals, line-node semimetals, ans so on. Curently, these topological electronic materials have been well studied in non-magnetic materials. In recent years, the rapporteur team has devoted itself to explore topological electronic materials, especially spin-polarized ones, and develop their physical properties. Their reaearch involves various types of topological materials, including topological nodal point (semi-) metal, topological nodal line (semi-) metal, topological nodal suface (semi) metal, etc. Especially,. magnetic topological materials integrate spin polarization and non-trivial topological electronic states; thus undoubtedly have broad application prospects in future spintronics devices. This report will also introduce the physical properties and material development of various magnetic topological states.
