结合第一性原理计算和有效模型分析,我们预测,在没有自旋轨道耦合的情况下,CaTe是一种拓扑结线半金属。利用平板模型,我们得到了费米能级附近近似平坦的鼓面表面态。当考虑自旋-轨道耦合时,三条节线将演化为沿M-R线的一对狄拉克点沿着。这些狄拉克点是鲁棒的,并且受到C-4旋转对称性的保护。一旦这种晶体对称性被打破,狄拉克点将被消除,系统成为强拓扑绝缘体。
Combining first-principles calculations and effective model analysis, we predict that CaTe is a topological node-line semimetal in the absence of the spin-orbit coupling. Using a slab model, we obtain the nearly flat drumhead surface state near the Fermi level. When the spin-orbit coupling is included, three node lines will evolve into a pair of Dirac points along the M-R line. These Dirac points are robust and protected by the C-4 rotation symmetry. Once this crystal symmetry is broken, the Dirac points will be eliminated, and the system becomes a strong topological insulator.
